Best seats to Vivid Sydney

Sydney's all aglow with Vivid, and you don't want to fight for a peek through the crowds! This 90-minute cruise along the Sydney Harbour takes you right into the heart of the action and are the best seats in the house (or boat). Glide through the waters and marvel at the canvas of colors and creativity, as the Sydney Opera House sails bloom into a 3D-mapped lightscape. This small vessel allows you to navigate closer to the shoreline, getting the perfect snap for the gram!

Feast onboard

Along the way, you'll be treated to an Italian-inspired antipasto platter and a free drink. Plus, you can bring your own drinks on board for no extra charge. Be sure to find the finest bottle for the occasion. You'll cruise on an intimate 10.5-meter catamaran, Kirralee, that has the perfect spots to catch every color-soaked moment, indoors and out.
