AIDAsol is set to arrive in Sydney on the evening of December 28, 2024, one day earlier than initially planned. The cruise ship, currently on the second leg of its 2024/2025 world cruise, is traveling from San Antonio in Chile to Sydney. While the arrival was originally scheduled for the morning of December 29, the ship will now dock in the Australian metropolis at approximately 10:00 PM on Saturday. Guests can look forward to a spectacular evening entry past the iconic Sydney Opera House and under the Harbour Bridge.

However, passengers will only be able to disembark after completing a mandatory security check by Australian authorities. Starting at 6:30 AM on Sunday, the so-called "face check" will verify passports, meaning guests must remain onboard until this process is complete. For some travelers, Sydney marks the end of their Pacific leg and the beginning of their journey home. Simultaneously, new passengers will board the ship to continue the journey. For many, Sydney serves as a stopover before the world cruise resumes.

The next leg of the world cruise begins on the evening of December 29, 2024. The destination is Port Louis in Mauritius, which will be reached on January 15, 2025. This third section includes 12 sea days and stops in Melbourne, Adelaide, and Fremantle.
