Vivid Sydney from the water!

Lovely views of Vivid Sydney , Opera house, bridge and Darling Harbor. Drinks were cold, canapés were hot, captain pointed out things we would have missed.

Response from Host, June 2022

Thank you for your review and glad you had a wonderful time onboard on Sydney Harbour.

Rather repetitive

Peter_B, May 2022

The first time we went around the bay to see the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Luna Park was great. However, I do not feel that we had to do a repeat of the same loop. It didn't offer any additional sights, and seemed like we were just killing time. I would have been happy for the cruise to take just 1 hour and to do the 1 loop. The canapes were ok. Cold and a little average, but a nice gesture.

Response from Host, June 2022

Thank you for your review Peter. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the first part of the cruise, and hope you liked viewing the Vivid lights from the water. We do revisit the main Vivid sites with a second loop, in case people have missed some photo opportunities or want to snap a different angle of the lights and landmarks. It also offers a little bit of extra time on the water, as some people are cruising Sydney Harbour for the first time. We do try and cater for all on board and we appreciate your feedback.

Fantastic personal service. Relaxed and friendly staff and smaller number of people provided for a great time and memories. Thank you.

Response from Host, June 2019

Sydney from the water

Very well looked after by the crew on board, 90 minutes around the two main harbours for the light festival. There was a steady supply of nibbles (just oven heated sausage rolls etc but what do you expect from a small boat kitchen?) And the boat wasn't too crowded.

Response from Host, May 2019

Hi Cath, Thank you for taking the time to post this review and glad that we were able to share the Vivid lights with you. It's great to hear that the crew looked after you well while on board. We hope you got the chance to taste all the canapés available on the cruise including the variety of sliders, arancini balls, mini quiches and fresh prawns, and that you enjoyed these along with the mini pies and sausage rolls. We hope to see you on board again for Vivid Sydney next year or for an alternate occasion.
