Returning to Sydney 24 years later. The first time was when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and thought I was doomed as stage 4 and Aggressive. I was only 42 years of age. By memory we stayed at the Quay West apartments which are now out of our league price wises. Headout was great. The Buffet lunch was excellent, the cruise was Amazing, the weather was great and the Commentary was wonderful. I accidentally booked the wrong dates by a week and all was quickly rectified. This cruise was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. FIVE STARS

I really enjoyed the Sydney Harbour lunch cruise. The views were absolutely beautiful, and cruising past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge made the experience really special. The buffet lunch was very nice and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Ron, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He shared interesting information about Sydney and the harbour, which made the cruise even more memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful way to see Sydney Harbour while enjoying a great meal. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Sydney!

Ron the tour guide was great. The food was fantastic and it was a great way to see the harbor area quickly and get lots of pictures. It's also a great way to get your bearings if you're a first time visitor.

A wonderful experience on Sydney harbour The meal was superb and the information of the Sydney scene provided by RON was a great insight to the history and surrounds of Sydney It's an experience it to be missed We booked prior to leaving NZ not knowing what to expect, but the experience was WOW. Rob fron NZ.

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!
