PASSENGERS may vote Sydney the best cruise port in the world, but a price hike for berthing charges of up to 3700 per cent by the NSW government may mean cruise companies will avoid the city.

The price increase would mean a mid-size cruise ship, such as P&O Cruises' Pacific Jewel, which carries 1990 passengers, would pay about $35,820 to visit from July 1, compared with just $3000 now.

Cruise ships now pay a flat hourly fee of $250 (reduced from $670 an hour in 1996) to berth in Sydney Harbour, either at Barangaroo or the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Most stay for 12 hours, costing $3000.
