About Newcastle, New South Wales

Once best known for its coal, it’s now a great spot for cruise visitors to explore a charming blend of surf, style, and history. Take a walk along the stunning Bathers Way coastal path to Nobbys Head Lighthouse, passing rock pools and beaches loved by locals. Art lovers can visit the Newcastle Art Gallery, home to works by major Australian artists. History buffs will enjoy Fort Scratchley, which once defended the coast and now offers panoramic views over the harbour. Darby Street offers boutique shopping and cafés, while the foreshore promenade is perfect for a relaxed wander. Whether you're tasting wines from nearby Hunter Valley or soaking up sea views from a waterfront bar, Newcastle is a rewarding, easygoing stop full of local character.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
