Event Recap – Sydney Sails With OzCat Catamarans and Expedia

Sydney’s Travel Massive annual cruise set sail on Sydney Harbour with Expedia – here’s the photos and special mentions!

The Sydney Travel Massive community joined forces with members from Sydney Revenue Managers for a harbour cruise on Ozcat Catamaran‘s boat Varuna. We had perfect weather on the day and a number of members from Melbourne came up for the trip.

A huge thanks to to the team from Expedia’s Sydney team who very generously sponsored our welcome drinks 🍾 🎉

After departing Kings Street Wharf, we set sail under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Opera House before heading across the harbour to moor at Athel Bay (near Taronga Zoo).

Those who weren’t afraid of 🦈’s went for an evening swim!🙈 Yes, we are brave in Australia…

A special thanks to Archana Acharekar and her crew from Ozcat Catamaran Cruises who hosted us again this year. If you attended, please leave Archie a review on TripAdvisor.
