Traveller Tips
If you plan on taking pics, the windows have water spots all over them so don't worry if you're eating and can't get the best pic.
A bit longer trip with actual sunset happening so that it would not feel a bit hasty, would have given the 4 stars.

Our first visit to Sydney
Brett_T, Mar 2023
Although a set menu with expectation to share main meals, staff were happy to provide the same meal given seafood was not our favorite. Great service and although we got on at Darling Harbour we were able to get off at Circular Quay. A commentary as to what we could see would have been nice, but nice live music.
Excellent Cruise
Timothy_H, Mar 2023
The ood was delicious and views were amazing. I could easily say that I would this recommend to anyone
Stunning experience
Alana_L, Mar 2023
What a beautiful way to see Sydney while having dinner was magic
Staff were efficient & a truly lovely experience
Treat yourself!
Therese_T, Mar 2023
Very well organised with seating arrangements, although it would have been nicer if the couple who decided they wanted a window seat weren't disturbing me from eating my meal..
The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, highly recommend the barramundi. Being able to get to the front of the vessel to take pictures and videos was perfect as we went under harbour bridge and travelled further than I was expecting. And whilst it was still light rather than sunset, the views, scenery and sunlight on the water were stunning and I'm so glad I treated myself to the experience.
Well worth the $
Niki_A, Mar 2023
Booking a window seat is a must for the best experience. Had 3 levels of dining plus an open deck on top. They had a 2 piece band playing while we were eating, which made it even more pleasant. The food came out fast. We ordered drinks through a app, roughly took 5 to 10min to receive. Would highly recommend this dinner cruise
Grand Sydney Harbour views

I appreciate your company was able to seat me with the group I'm traveling with. Food was good. Will
Cruise was beautiful, but...
johnkorzinski, Mar 2023
Cruise was beautiful, but we were disappointed that we were not actually out at sunset. (We started at 5:30, and returned at 7:00) We thought we would see the Sydney Opera House lit up at night. There was a later cruise that we were not aware of. The dinner was good and the pictures we took from the boat were great. Would recommend, but at the later time.
Sydney in the sun
michael_c, Mar 2023
Our server was fantastic, food was great and views were absolutely amazing. An experience that I would highly recommend
An unimaginative and totally rote experience. Don’t bother
Steven_G, Mar 2023
An entirely perfunctory excursion. No choice of dinner offerings. Want a second dinner roll?…nope, can’t have it. No commentary on the Harbour sights. If I knew what I was looking at, I probably would be a Sydneysider and not be on the ship anyway!. No announcement about top deck viewing area.
Great music and Food!!...
Maria_D, Mar 2023
