- OnAir136397978790 contributionsMixed FeelingsI have mixed feelings about this tour. On the one hand, I really enjoyed the scenery, the boat and the food. On the other hand, I was less impressed with our dining location and the service, although though that may have been a result of my misunderstanding of what the tour entailed. From reading about the tour and reviews, I was expecting to board the boat, sit outside and view the harbour and opera house then head inside for the dinner, viewing the coast as we ate and then after the meal head back outside to see the sunset and harbour and opera house in the dark on the way back. I did not expect that the dinner was to be served over the entire three hours and that we would be being served and be eating during most of the highlights of the trip. Especially since the entire meal could easily have been served and eaten during the hour and a half segment of the trip along the coast outside of the harbour. As it was, we had to keep getting up and going outside to take pictures then go back in and eat. Because it was a hot day we preferred to spend our time outside but because we weren’t sure when to expect the food, we would be constantly going in and out. They would announce that the food was ready then you would spend twenty minutes waiting to be served. Many times we found that we would finally be served or eating just as we were getting to sights we wanted to take pictures of. The desert was served as we were passing the opera house and bridge on the way back to the wharf. They made an announcement we couldn’t hear due to everyone eating desert and talking. Quickly finished the desert and realized we had missed part of a drone show over Sydney harbour. However, overall we really enjoyed the views and the portion of the drone show that we got to see.Written 7 February 2025

- Lea W0 contributionsPerfect view of Sydney from the waterWe booked this dinner cruise after Viking cancelled the one we booked as part of our cruise package. It turned out to be an iconic night cruising the Sydney Harbour with great food, drinks, and views. We spent 2 hours in the harbour with beautiful views of the city skyline, Opera House, and bridge as the sun went down and the city lit up. Would 100% recommend this cruise if you’re looking for a bucket list view of Sydney!Written 3 February 2025
- 795janeta0 contributionsFood was nice, disappointed they didn't stay for fireworksWe booked this cruise for Jan. 26, Australia Day, expecting they would stay out for the fireworks, but they redocked before 9pm, not even 3 hrs. on the water. Couldn't see any of the fireworks. Should have made an exception for that day to stay out a little later. Unbelievable... That said, the crew were nice, the dinner was tasty, and the cruise went smoothly. The menu was fish or chicken, the chicken tasted better. There was no music on board. That would have been nice. Showing an old movie, Casablanca, with no sound on a TV screen in our dining room. Talked with our neighbors seated on either side, so was very pleasant to meet others.Written 26 January 2025
- D1050MGjuliem0 contributionsA Fabulous Australia Day - Night Sydney CruiseThere were 5 adults in our group and we could not fault any part of this amazing cruise. The staff were so friendly and willing to assist in any way they could. The food was beautiful and there was a good variety to choose from. There was plenty of drinks to choose from too. The length was great. We had plenty of opportunities to take wonderful photos of beautiful Sydney. One suggestion for future cruises on Australia Day - it would be great to stay around Circular Quey for the 9:30pm fireworks.Written 26 January 2025
- Nicky D0 contributionsA must when in SydneyThis is a must when in Sydney. The view was amazing as was the food. I am so glad we did this tour. The only thing that would have been an added bonus was if there was someone from the crew that walked around and explained different landmarks. Though we did get a talk at 2 different areas, there were alot of other things you saw that we didn't know what they were. It was a minor thing though The staff were attentive and lovely and it was a very perfect night.Written 18 January 2025
- Thomas C0 contributionsA delightful evening cruise on Sydney HarborThis is my first visit to Sydney and I am traveling solo on this trip. I arrived mid afternoon and since my hotel is close to Darling Harbor, I knew I could just make an evening cruise on the harbor. I thought it would be a great way to see the city for the first time. I booked the harbor cruise primarily to see Sydney from the water. The food was a nice addition but I had low expectations. I was very pleased, however, that we were offered beverages as we boarded and I accepted a Prosecco as I was escorted to my table. The table was set perfectly and there was a dinner roll and soft butter already waiting. I enjoyed the bubbly while I made my menu selections; a tuna appetizer along with a grilled Barramundi entree. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay to go with my meal. Our boat was already underway and we had a bit of time to go on deck, explore the boat and take pictures of Sydney. The water was calm and the ride was very smooth but the air was a bit chilly. After 30” or so, the captain asked us to return to the dining cabin as our meal service was starting. I was delighted at the presentation of the appetizer. The thinly sliced tuna was surrounded by two artfully placed sauces and topped with a bit of micro greens. The appetizer was only a few bites but it was delicious and it set the stage for the entree. My generous portion of Barramundi was cooked perfectly and it was surrounded by a few roasted potatoes and vegetables. The food was excellent and again, the presentation was beautiful. We had plenty of time for a leisurely meal and I had a nice conversation with the solo passenger who was seated next to me. I ordered a death-by-chocolate ‘bomb’ served with raspberry sauce for dessert. It was over-the-top, especially when accompanied by another glass of wine, this time a nice Pinot Noir. We had begun our return trip to the wharf, the skies were darkening and the city’s lights were being lit. It was a calm leisurely return journey. We had plenty of time to take photos, talk and enjoy the beautiful night view of Sydney from the water. We docked about 2 1/2 after we left. A perfect evening.Written 5 January 2025

As a local I have been on a few cruises on the harbour before. I would highly recommend as the vessel was clean, the size comfortably sat about 40 with plenty of viewing options and seating, food was excellent serving a main and a dessert from a choice of 2 options each, service was great keeping our included drinks topped up. The cruise meandered through the harbour up to Rose Bay and back to Berry Bay. I get sea sick but did not need a tablet for this 2.5hr cruise. I will be taking my visitors on this cruise to show off our beautiful harbour.

Sydney Harbour is our backyard and we all use the local ferry services regularly. We have talked about a foodie cruise for a long time but most operators are on a large scale and tourist centric. Yesterdays lunch cruise was so enjoyable on a smaller vessel with polished service, despite the cloudy day. From the welcome as we boarded, the attentive wait staff, superb food and generous drink package, we were impressed.
Our harbour shone in overcast weather and was the perfect backdrop to our time onboard. I suspect due to the weather, only the lower dining room was open but after our meal we spent the remainder of our time on the open top deck enjoying drinks and each other’s company. There is commentary for those unfamiliar with Sydney Harbour, informative and up to date, as it included the international Sail GP competition whose season opener was on the harbour (Aussie claimed first race later in the day). We all agreed this should be a biannual/semiannual get together. This is the side of Sydney we should be showing the world, a smaller, quality, Australian flavoured experience. So good.

Great staff and clean ship. The cruise was a very nice way to see the most of the harbour area. The food was a lot better than my expectation and the unlimited beer, wine and sparkling wine did help. They do have a more premium selection of other champagne and wine for additional cost. The staff was amazing our cruise had about 21 passenger with only one waiter and cook therefore the eating time was a bit later then we would have like and dessert was served about 10 minutes right before docking. Which made enjoying it a bit if a rush. I would recommend this cruise if your looking for a more premium experience. The ship is very clean, white table cloth dining experience and less of a turn and churn experience. The harbour docking meeting point was very easy to find.

Booked this cruise with great expectations and am pleased to report every hope we had was met and surpassed. The boat arrived on time, our steward was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient with the boat being very clean and well presented. The menu was varied catering for a variety of tastes with meals being beautifully presented and tasty to eat. Drinks flowed throughout the afternoon and we have no hesitation recommending this harbour experience to anyone looking for a lovely day out. Well done and thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A great way to experience our magnificant harbour city. Food and wine was excellent and staff was attentive to our needs. However for a first time visitor to Sydney there was very little commentary as we cruised thru some of Sydney's iconic bayside suburbs. It would have been helpful if some history or even the location was advised as we entered each bay to give a visitor an understanding of our city.

This cruise which was booked with our, my holiday center Shangri-La holiday was the most enjoyable, organized , perfect and plentiful day out on the beautiful Sydney Harbour we could ever have wished for.
We never expected to have a table for 2 set exquisitely with crisp white linen and crystal glasses. The meal was a choice 3 dishes for the main and ours was perfect. The champagne and selection of wines were excellent and free flowing. Our glasses where never empty.
The cruise around the Harbour was just beautiful , seeing all the highlights up close with the harbour sparkling, what more can I say !
I will be recommending this cruise to all that will listen so they may enjoy it as well. Very good value for money. Also the crew were exceptionally good ,my husband conducted three cheers for the crew before we left the boat which they throughly deserve
Obviously I would highly recommend this Harbour cruise

Excellent purchase. The whole event was seamless and efficient. Boarded, served with drinks and off we went. Commentary was not too loud or intrusive, all points of interest were highlighted and kept our interest.
Food was served and was very good, tasty and plentiful.
The trip was memorable for all the right reasons.
Mention of the staff/crew. Two young ladies serving bar and food, one being an Indian young lady on her first service and her companion were polite, friendly, highly attentive and a credit to themselves. One young gentleman went round offering to take pictures of people with their cameras, avoiding awkward selfie poses.
All in all, good value and a great start to the holiday.

The size of the passenger group was ideal, it enabled a more pleasant integrated experience whilst being able to enjoy an intimate meal with your partner. All of the service team were consistently friendly, humorous and super helpful. The food was elegantly presented and so delicious. This was a real highlight for us as we did not know what to expect. The journey through the harbour on Australia Day will stay in our memory as this particular cruise allowed us to be close to all the spectacle, colours and icons of Sydney Harbour whilst being comfortably accommodated in a sun drenched air conditioned dining room. The price of this experience completely justifies this flawless nautical journey.
Bay 8& 9 are very close to each other and we queued for the wrong boat , thankfully we realised our error in time .

This was an iconic and delightful cruise. It was a glorious day, sipping bubbly and rosé on the deck whilst watching the sights was truly memorable. Lunch was 5-star, absolutely delicious, the service was excellent. Crew were polite, chatty and nothing was too much trouble. I had plenty of opportunity to walk around and soak it all in. Loved it all and would do it again.
