What it means for travelers

Most sailings start and end in Sydney (SYD). Long-haul flights into Australia often run full in December and January, so build in at least a day’s buffer before the Christmas sailing.
One-way voyages (Sydney–Singapore, Sydney–Honolulu) need an open-jaw flight plan: check flights home from Singapore (SIN) or Honolulu (HNL) before booking.
