About this Event
Experience an unforgettable lineup of special event cruises celebrating the Royal Australian Navy’s 125th Anniversary International Fleet Review on Sydney Harbour.
This rare and spectacular occasion will bring together up to 30 international warships from 20 nations, complete with aerial displays, a 21‑gun salute, ceremonial fleet entry, and more. And there’s simply no better vantage point than being out on the harbour itself.
Join us onboard the MV Eclipse for this special Maritime Museum event.
The International Fleet Review is one phase of Exercise Kakadu which is a major maritime exercise with numerous countries hosted by the Royal Australian Navy every two years.
A Fleet Review is a naval tradition where a Reviewing Officer on board the Reviewing Ship inspects the massed ships of the navy, typically when the Battle Fleet was mobilised for war. Since the 19th century, Fleet Reviews have been held for commemorative events and celebrations, including inviting other national navies to participate by sending vessels.
With the Reviewing Officer embarked, HMAS Leeuwin will proceed past all ships receiving a ceremonial salute during the route. While the majority of ships will be at alongside berths or at anchor, one column of ship will sail through the main channel, passing HMAS Leeuwin as they proceed west toward the Harbour Bridge.
