Food and drinks for Tourists

Enjoy the light show from the best seat in the house – the harbour on this Vivid Sydney cruise. Everything's covered, from food to the perfect view.

Highlights

  • Glam up your Vivid Sydney visit aboard Fleetwing II or Heaven, the Harbour’s premium catamarans. Limited to 40 guests, you'll feel worlds away from the crowds.

  • They've got delicious canapés circulating. Plus, your first drink (beer, wine, soft drink, juice) is included! There's also a bar for anything else you fancy.

  • Plenty of seating and standing areas to enjoy the views! The catamaran has a large internal cabin, an upper deck, and a front deck for you to explore.

  • From this spot, watch the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge light up, turning into huge art exhibits right before your eyes.

  • Did you know? It takes 5.2 km of network cable (fiber and Ethernet) to light up the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the city during the event. That’s almost 5 times the length of the bridge.

Inclusions

  • 90-minute cruise on Sydney Harbour

  • Experienced skipper and deck hand/host

  • Roaming canapes

  • 1 beverage per person (beer, wine, soft drink, or juice)

Exclusions

Sailing in style

Want a fancy getaway to see the Vivid Sydney lights? The Fleetwing II catamaran is your answer. This catamaran has room for just 40 folks, making it the perfect spot for an intimate light show as the harbor lights up – a view that’s second to none. And, the friendly captain and crew are always ready to help and keep things smooth sailing. No need to worry about packing snacks either – this cruise includes delicious roaming canapés to nibble on throughout the night. Plus, you get a complimentary drink to toast the dazzling Vivid lights. Want more options? No problem – there's a fully licensed bar onboard where you can grab extra beverages.

See the sights up close

The Sydney Opera House takes center stage. Its sails turn into a dynamic canvas, alive with 3D projections. One moment, you're exploring distant galaxies; the next, you're amidst Australian landmarks, all from the comfort of the spacious deck (indoors or outdoors!). The Sydney Harbour Bridge gets in on the action too, lighting up with patterns that seem to dance across its steel frame. As you sail, the shoreline springs to life with glowing buildings and art pieces.
