  • Unlimited beverages and sparkling wine included throughout
  • Views of Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Middle Harbour real estate

What to expect

You'll board a luxury cruiser at the designated departure point and settle in as the boat heads out onto Sydney Harbour. The first part of your journey includes cruising past iconic landmarks—the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and the exclusive waterfront properties of Middle Harbour—while you're oriented to the vessel and offered an initial beverage.

You'll then move through a three-course lunch split between two harbourside restaurants. Rather than staying in one venue, you'll transit between locations by boat, creating the 'progressive' format. Throughout the experience, drinks flow continuously from an open bar. The cruise concludes back at the starting point after approximately 4.5 hours.

Good to know

This suits anyone after a special lunch experience with active harbour scenery, particularly couples, groups of friends, and families celebrating an occasion. It removes the logistical fuss of getting between restaurants yourself. The open bar is genuinely unlimited, and sparkling wine is included from the start. Note: infants can travel (prams, specialised seats provided), but infant meals aren't included—bring food or plan accordingly. Child rates apply only when two adults are also paying, so check pricing carefully for mixed-age groups. Hotel pickups aren't included, though public transport links to the departure point. Gratuities aren't factored into the price. The boat operates in all weather, so dress for conditions. Peak times will affect booking availability, especially weekends and school holidays.
