This was a great value and fun cruise. It included enjoyable food, an open bar and a cruise that toured the brilliant lights of Vivid for 2 hours. I have shared this experience with EVERYBODy that I have spoken to about it and highly recommended it. My husband and I really enjoyed it.

It got very crowded, not sure what was the cap for number of people in each cruise. Food/drinks had very long queues but there was a decent selection of veg and some non veg food. There were beers, wines and some spirits in the bar. Thankfully the weather was good so we got good clean views of the major vivid attractions. Would have been a 5 star is crowds were controlled.

    Facilities were great, bar staff were very polite and Welcoming. One recommendation would be is to improve the food, it was very bland and had very little taste. The pastas were both cold, and the salads had no dressings

    Food was really good along with drinks but it's a bit over crowded but with this price, it is absolutely value for money.
