The whole cruise was excellent. The very informative commentary as we travelled aroud the harbour was clear and full of information. The Buffet lunch was so much more than we anticipated and very enjoyable. This was a 5 Star cruise which went for over two hours, and at $79 per head, was value plus.

Was a relaxing way to spend some time on Sydney Harbour. An informative commentary about various locations of interest whilst enjoying a buffet lunch. A bar available too.Staff were very helpful and friendly. Good value for money.

Go for a couple of blissful hours on the waters of Sydney as you sail in a first-class vessel, cruising the Sydney Harbour and savoring a lunch buffet.

Lunch with a view: We're talking a delicious buffet spread – think Thai spiced chicken, Aussie prawns, pesto pasta, Moroccan salads, and desserts.

There's more to Sydney's landmarks than meets the eye! The guide will go beyond the postcard views, revealing stories behind the Opera House and more.

This cruise is perfect for explorers of all ages. Kids will be enthralled by the sights, and adults will appreciate the relaxing escape.

Did you know? Aboriginal Gadigal people are the traditional owners of the land around Sydney Harbour!
