The White Bay Cruise Terminal is a terminal for cruise ships on Sydney Harbour. It opened on 15 April 2013 as a replacement for Wharf 8 on Darling Harbour which closed to make way for the Barangaroo development.[1][2][3]

In October 2013 it won the transport section at the World Architecture Festival.[4] The Overseas Passenger Terminal remains as Sydney's primary terminal, with the White Bay Cruise Terminal only taking those vessels which can fit under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

When the terminal is occupied, Captain Cook Cruises operate a ferry service to Barangaroo.[5][6]
