It was a great cruise. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was of avery good quality with the prawns a standout. We enjoyed a bottle of bubbles at very good value for $45. The commentary delivered by Ron was excellent. He was very informative and able to be heard in a very clear manner . All in all a top class cruise. Well done.

    • 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.
