If you want a holiday that's fun and cheap, head to Sydney Harbor and get ready for a cruise. With just a bit of planning, you can even take in the historical sites, the cultural tradition, the grand and elegant buildings, and the loads of food choices from all over the world.

The best time to take a cruise is in November, which is late spring here. You must remember to take along sweaters, a camera, batteries and memory cards, and a hat. The cruise begins at Circular Quay, and it makes sense to arrive a little earlier than 9 a.m., when it sets sail.

Take advantage of a hop-on-hop off cruise ticket and visit the Taronga Zoo, which is mesmerizing with its emus, kangaroos, koalas, birds, wallabies, and beautiful flora and fauna. Then, go shopping and on to Darling Harbour, visit an aquarium and one of the fantastic museums nearby, before returning to Circular Quay.

You can also choose from the innumerable ferries that begin at Sydney Harbour and take in the golden beaches, the warm sun, waterside homes, the sound of the water, and blooming jacarandas. If you do get onto a ferry, you will experience the life of the people of this harbor city. Ferries set sail at Circular Quay, which is fully equipped with ferry wharves, jetties, a railway station, and bus terminals, as well as coffee shops and tourist shops.

Choose to go anywhere from here - Taronga Zoo, Mosman, Neutral Bay, or Manly, if you want to go north. If going southeast is your wish, go to Watsons Bay and Darling Point, or sail westwards to Homebush Bay or Parramatta, Balmain, or Gladesville and Parramatta, and then cruise around a little before you return to Darling Harbour.

On your cruise, you need to keep an eye out for the Sydney Opera House in the east and the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Rocks District in the west, all very near the Circular Quay jetties. Go across the water to the fun and entertainment center, Luna Park, and then on to the Star City Casino and the entertainment center at Pyrmont Bay and Darling Harbour - something you're going to love.

You'd be extra fortunate to board a cruiser around New Year's Eve because of the fantastic fireworks display, which begins at midnight for New Year's Eve in Sydney Harbour. This usually begins at 9 p.m. and is followed by the Harbour Light Parade.

If you're a beach bum, Sydney has many fantastic, clean, and inviting beaches with a lot of water sports and activities to offer. Be sure to visit Manly beach, among others. Or if you like, you could take a leisurely cruise around the harbor and admire its wonderful and quaint waterside homes and dock at an isolated spot for an exclusive lunch.

Don't go packed with food and drink. Instead, go under the Harbour Bridge and land at the Sydney Fish Markets. Get onto the wharf and choose from any of the seafood specialty restaurants and order take-away seafood the way you want it, hot or cold. Then, bite into their amazing selection of fresh water fish delicacies. In fact, here you will find food, food, and more food - what with a fruit and vegetable market and a deli.
