Virgin Voyages’ Open Ship Night
- Things to do, Pop-up locations
Time Out says
Get a sneak peek at this luxe, adults-only cruise ship as it docks in Sydney – without ever setting sail
If you’ve always been curious about going on a cruise, but shudder at the thought of being stuck on an overcrowded ship with shrieking children and sub-par buffets, then listen up. Virgin Voyages is giving Sydneysiders an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into its big, bold and 100 per cent ‘adult’s only’ cruise ship for one night only on December 5.
Her Majesty, Lady Resilient, is perhaps the coolest, most luxe vessel to arrive on Australian shores, decked out with a multi-storey nightclub, festival-like entertainment, Michelin-inspired restaurants and more. Everyone's invited to get a rare backstage tour of the shiny cruise ship, plus the chance to enjoy a special multi-course menu (inclusive of booze) at one of the boat’s six signature restaurants – all without ever leaving the dock.
A world-class line-up of chefs has designed the multi-course menus, including New York City’s Brad Farmerie (Public) and Sohui Kim (Gage and Tollner; Insa). You can experience the magic of molecular gastronomy, dine at the world’s first Korean barbecue at sea, experience a classic mid-20th-century steakhouse, or be wowed by cutting-edge veg cuisine.
Before wining and dining, you can take a sticky beak throughout the entire ship and witness the Australian premiere of Persephone , a larger-than-life retelling of the classic Greek myth. Save some room in the tank to hit the DF at Resilient Lady’s signature Scarlet Night after party, featuring pop-up performances and a whole lot more adult-only fun.
Limited tickets to Virgin Voyages’ Open Ship Night are now available for $99 per person here , with proceeds benefitting the conversation efforts of Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef.
Lady Resilient will finally start voyaging from the waters of Australia in December 2023, and you can find out more here .

Navy opens the hatches to Sydney
Share the post "Navy opens the hatches to Sydney"
After a 10-year hiatus, Navy ships and shore establishments around Sydney will swing open the hatches to welcome the community as part of Navy Week 2023 celebrations.
CAPTION : Ships ported at Fleet Base East, which will be open to the public on Sunday, February 26. Story by Lieutenant Commander Andrew Ragless. Photo by Warrant Officer Shane Cameron.
Sydneysiders will have a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with service men and women who are proud to showcase some of Navy’s cutting-edge technology.
HMAS Penguin , home to the ADF’s sophisticated diving, hydrographic and medical training facilities, will open on Saturday, February 25.
On Sunday, February 26, Fleet Base East in Sydney’s inner east will invite the community to embark in flagship landing helicopter dock HMAS Canberra , the newest Australian-built guided missile destroyer HMAS Sydney and Anzac-class frigate HMAS Arunta .
CAPTION : HMA Ships Arunta, front, Hobart, right, and Canberra will be open for ship tours as part of Navy Week celebrations in Sydney this weekend. Photo by Leading Seaman Ernesto Sanchez.
Commander Australian Fleet Rear Admiral Chris Smith said while Navy personnel have been busy serving their community, much of this work is done far from home and out of sight for most Australians.
“Navy people play a critical role in safeguarding Australia’s economic wellbeing, on and under the sea,” Rear Admiral Smith said.
“The oceans are our nation’s lifeblood. Navy protects Australia’s maritime trade and marine resources and works with partner nations to secure Australia’s welfare in a prosperous and stable Indo-Pacific.
“We’re very excited to open up and share some of these experiences with our friends and neighbours.”
Navy’s open days will also be supported by bespoke units including the Australian Amphibious Force, mine warfare and robotic and autonomous systems, the Royal Australian Navy Band – Sydney, Defence Families of Australia and Defence Force Recruiting.
“This is also an opportunity to highlight the immense opportunities available to Australians who might consider a career in the Navy,” Rear Admiral Smith said.
“Navy’s workforce is growing, and our technology is getting more and more sophisticated. There’s never been more opportunity for Australians with diverse skills, backgrounds and talents to join the Navy family.”
Traditionally, Navy Week has preceded the Royal Australian Navy’s birthday on March 1, when in 1901 the states transferred their naval forces to the Commonwealth of Australia following Federation.
This year Navy celebrates the ripe old age of 122.

HMAS Sydney (V)
Commissioned on 18 May 2020, HMAS Sydney (V) is the last of three ships of the Hobart Class guided missile destroyers (DDG). Hobart Class DDGs are based on the Navantia-designed F100 frigate and fitted with the Aegis Combat System. The Air Warfare Destroyer Alliance constructed the ships in Australia.
The Hobart Class provides air defence for accompanying ships, land forces and infrastructure in coastal areas, and for self-protection against missiles and aircraft. The Aegis Combat System incorporating the state-of-the-art phased array radar and the SM-2 missile provides an advanced air defence system capable of engaging enemy aircraft and missiles at ranges in excess of 150km.
The Hobart Class carries a helicopter for surveillance and response to support key warfare areas. The surface warfare function includes long-range anti-ship missiles and a naval gun capable of firing extended range munitions in support of land forces.
The Hobart Class also conducts undersea warfare and is equipped with modern sonar systems, decoys, surface-launched torpedoes and an array of effective close-in defensive weapons.

NSW Health leaders tour ship medical facilities
11 April 2024
A group of senior medical administrators and specialists from five major NSW hospitals recently participated in an insightful clinical tour on board HMAS Adelaide .
The unique visit, led by the Maritime Operational Health Unit (MOHU), offered health leaders an inside look into the advanced medical facilities supporting Navy personnel, and highlighted the strong collaborative partnerships between military medical teams and NSW Health.
Officer in charge MOHU Commander Steven Grosser said the tour was organised to give Navy’s civilian colleagues a first-hand view into the complex medical operations conducted at sea.
"Maintaining our life-saving skills requires ongoing training and support from specialists across NSW. This was an opportunity to say thank you," he said.
The clinical tour highlighted some of the key capabilities that enable Navy medics and nurses to deliver critical care even in extreme offshore environments.
Attendees witnessed the multi-purpose design of the deck triage area, main medical bay and primary casualty reception facility equipped for major trauma response.
They also gained insight into the full patient journey – from initial emergency reception to resuscitation, surgery, intensive care and recovery.
At the conclusion of the tour, Commander Grosser presented a video of recent simulation training exercises, offering perspective into the quick decision-making skills required of medical teams operating at sea.
Clinical Educator Severe Burn Injury Unit Jean Edge said it was an eye-opening experience.
“It was amazing and very helpful to see what you do and the conditions you work in,” she said.
Nurse Unit Manager Maryanne Howell echoed that statement.
“It was really informative to see how you are able to run a service on board and how we can help by supporting the military staff that come through the operating theatres in Royal North Shore Hospital,” she said.
With the in-depth tour complete, attendees expressed renewed appreciation for their Navy counterparts.
Visit Liaison Officer and Resus Team Leader Lieutenant Commander Nicole Klein-Essink hoped the visit reinforced the importance of ongoing skills development through hospital rotations for deployed medical personnel.
“This unique collaboration between Navy units and NSW Health continues to save lives both on land and at sea,” Lieutenant Commander Klein-Essink said.
