Great night with my girlfriends from New Zealand. This cruise was excellent value for money and I would totally recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney! The staff were lovely and the nibbles were a nice touch with the champagne. I felt that a one and half hour cruise is just the perfect duration rather than being stuck on a larger boat for 3 hours or so. Then we popped off to a lovely Sydney restaurant for dinner after! The perfect evening.

Step aboard the luxury multi-story catamaran Heaven for an intimate Vivid Sydney cruise experience.

Sail for approximately 1.5 hours past the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Luna Park, and other illuminated landmarks.

Enjoy roaming canapés and one complimentary drink, with a licensed bar on board for extra beverages.

Wander across indoor and outdoor decks for fresh air, photos, and relaxed views with a maximum of 40–45 guests.

The cruise was a great way to finish the week of Vivid. Warm night and the chance to see the lights from another angle. The canapés were great and the staff were very friendly.
