Sydney shopping centres, Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre and Harbourside, have announced a new ferry service, the Hello Sydney! Shopper Hopper.
The ferry aims to offer international and domestic travellers a multi-dimensional shopping, dining and tourism experience.
It will operate as a daily service between Circular Quay, Harbourside Shopping Centre and Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre.
The service is an add-on to Hello Sydney!, launched by Birkenhead Point, Harbourside and iVenture Card in December 2015.
The program offered shoppers exclusive discounts across shopping, dining and entertainment.
The Hello Sydney! Shopper Hopper will add to this with a regular water service to the two Centres, complete with a sightseeing tour of Sydney’s most iconic attractions including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Luna Park, Cockatoo Island and the city skyline.
Shopper Hopper partner, Fantasea Cruises, will provide and operate the ferry.
Mirvac retail portfolio manager Michelle Higgins said the program can now offer shoppers a full experience.
"Birkenhead Point and Harbourside are the only two shopping Centres in Sydney that can be accessed by water and are surrounded by many neighbouring communities – the Shopper Hopper will not only cater to tourists, but will also provide a convenient and much-needed service to our local commuters.”
Tickets for the Hello Sydney! Shopper Hopper will be priced at $10 per leg, with a discounted 10-pass option for commuters travelling the route on a more regular basis.
Service will commence every morning at 8.00am with 16 journeys throughout the day and a last service at 5.40pm from Circular Quay to Birkenhead Point.
