What a great experience. Boat was great, staff wonderful, food delicious. Very professional. Nice size so you didn’t feel among a mass of diners.

The instructions to find the wharf and what time to be there were very clear. It is true they do not wait so make sure that you are a bit early. The views were fabulous, and the dinner and drinks were just as good. So far it has been about the best meal I’ve had in Sydney. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a all-inclusive dinner cruise.

Overview

Escape the crowds on land and admire Sydney’s top landmarks—including Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House—on an evening dinner cruise that includes a 3-course meal with food and wine sourced from New South Wales. Sailing at sunset means that you can admire Sydney Harbour when it's at its most photogenic, while a top deck provides you with panoramic views of the scenery.
  • Get a fresh perspective of Sydney Harbour during an evening cruise
  • Combine sightseeing with eating as you sail around the area
  • Snap the best photos of top Sydney attractions from the panoramic top deck
  • The short duration of this cruise is ideal if you're short on time

    Awesome night

    Michael_S, May 2026
    The crew welcomed everyone aboard. Food was great. Service was excellent and the view of the harbor was excellent. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

    Kudos to Captain and Crew!

    Juan_J, May 2026
    If I could give a rating of more than 5 stars, I would! What a wonderful experience. On the surface, the weather was a little downer with cloudiness and rain, a little chilly on the temperature side, and no visualization of the sunset…..who knew that the weather changes that quickly in Sydney! Now for the silver lining and sunshine part of the trip. The food and drinks were excellent, the ship was spacious and clean, and the vibrant attitude and service provided was top notch. This particular crew and captain went above and beyond for my family and we deeply appreciated the effort. I was with my family—2 grandparents, me and my wife, and our 3 young adult kids. We were doing tours of Melbourne, Port Douglas, and Sydney as a vacation to visit our son doing a study abroad semester. This is important as the 6 of us were staying in a local hotel and travelled together to the harbor with our son staying in his school apartment. We had gone out during the morning to the Sydney Fish Market, Chinatown, and shopping for souvenirs in the morning and our son wanted an afternoon nap. Our departure time was 510pm and he set 4 alarms for 4………(am) on accident. At 450 he was still in bed, and at 510 was stuck in an Uber in traffic. The captain delayed departure for 20 min and then we had to depart. Our family was sad to have our son miss our last dinner before returning to the U.S. While seated at our table, the captain came to me to see if our son could make it to the dock in the next 15 minutes. The answer was yes and we were able to return to the dock and pick him up. I relayed the story to the other diners and our son received a standing ovation after being picked up. There is nothing better than this kind of customer support and appreciation of the circumstance. Hands down, this was our favorite memory of the 2 week stay in Australia. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Great Cruise!

    À Lovely evening on Sydney harbour

    A_W, Apr 2026
    À fabulous evening on the harbour and all was really good with a small glitch on the Apple crumblee which was very chilled

    Definitely Recommend.

    What a great experience. Boat was great, staff wonderful, food delicious. Very professional. Nice size so you didn’t feel among a mass of diners.

    Poor communication

    Michael_H, Apr 2026
    I cannot comment on the experience itself, as the event never took place. The communication, however, is horrible. I was on a 2 week vacation and this event was scheduled for the final evening. My wife and I got dressed up and walked to the venue only to find that there is no ship there. Viator customer service inforned me that 3 days previously the event was cancelled and I should have received an email. They could not tell me why I received a confirmation text just 3 hours earlier and also the day before that as well. Being that I was on vacation I am not one to spend time on email but the email intro was also very deceptive. The email did not come from Viator, which would have stood out, or from 'Sydney Harbour Cruise', rather it came from some anonymous sender that I easily scanned over. So why would Viator be sending confirmation texts days after the event was cancelled???

    Robin_W, Mar 2026
    You get great views of the harbour. Dinner was delicious. We met lots of new friends and shared a wonderful experience.

    Fabulous!

    Kathryn_B, Mar 2026
    Fabulous! It exceeded our expectations and we loved every minute! The food, the atmosphere and the views could not have been better.

    Worth the money

    Jody_C, Mar 2026
    Beautiful sights (opera house, boats, skyline). Peaceful and a great dinner. The staff were friendly and there were bathrooms on board. Low impact, not much walking required.

    Lack of signage at meeting/pick up point

    Valerie_C, Mar 2026
    It was very worrying to arrive at pick up point Wharf 8 and there to be no signage for this trip. When tried to ring office it was closed . Info said to arrive 15 mins prior to departure time. At first I thought I had been scammed. Unnecessary anxiety generated. Suggest in future they put up a sign or a board about the trip

    The weather was not good...

    Danka_P, Mar 2026
    The weather was not good at all but the dinner and the cruise were very good. Also, the people with whom we were seated - Steve and Brona - were wonderful. Thank you!

    sydney harbor dinner cruise march 3.

    Perry_M, Mar 2026
    very nice dinner cruise from Bangalaroo (?), viewing Sydney harbor withy twists and turns to see the sydney opera building. departure time left great late evening (early march) view before dinner (30-45 minutes). dinner was good (not outstanding), beer and wine included. overall nice trip.

    Disappointing not as billed

    Judith_H, Mar 2026
    Disappointing really. Not that it’s all about alcohol but we weren’t offered a glass of wine with supper and no coffee or tea as stated on booking. Glass of fizz on arrival which was topped up but service of beverages not as we imagined. Food was delicious but dessert served just as we were passing illuminated opera house so not ideal for seeing harbour. At the end of our 6 weeks in OZ and a very disappointing experience

    A Solid Experience

    RobertS_S, Feb 2026
    Open air viewing on a windy day may be uncomfortable and limited. Food is very good and the staff is excellent.

    last night in Sydney

    Theodore_N, Feb 2026
    this tour was a great way to spend the kast night in Sydney, The crew was exceptional, and the boarding process was quick and easy. the topper was the fireworks show after the cruise. Food aboard the ship was nicely prepared.

    Edward_L, Feb 2026
    Great food and atmosphere. Seeing the harbour at night was amazing and the crew was very attentive and pleasant.

    Well worth doing

    Penny_T, Feb 2026
    This trip is definitely well worth doing, staff were fabulous, the meal was excellent. The boat was not overcrowded or too noisy. Lots of opportunity to take some brilliant pictures without having to fight for space. Overall a good evening out.😄

    The cruise around...

    Charles_W, Jan 2026
    The cruise around Sydney‘s Harbour was pleasant. The food was good. The boat arrived five minutes before departure time.

    Amazing!

    Tatum_R, Jan 2026
    we had such an amazing time on the boat! The food was amazing and the staff was so attentive. The views were incredible and we definitely recommend this as a fun date night! We were celebrating our honeymoon and this tour did not disappoint! Thank you to Albana for making our night so special!

    Had a wonderful...

    Shruti_D, Dec 2025
    Had a wonderful cruise-dinner experience on Sydney Harbour. The food was good—fresh, tasty, and nicely prepared—but the views were the true highlight. Going in summer made the evening feel extra special. We started with a bit of warm sunlight, then watched a stunning sunset spread across the water, and finally enjoyed the sparkling night lights of Sydney’s skyline. Experiencing all three moments in one smooth cruise felt magical. It was relaxing, scenic, and a beautiful way to appreciate the harbour. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out.

    Food serving speed

    Davis_C, Nov 2025
    The food is served so slowly that my wife fell asleep during the passage. Hope the speed can be improved.

    Great meal, service was...

    Gaye_C, Oct 2025
    Great meal, service was 1st class, 3 course dinner was beautiful & the views on the harbour were magic.

    Highly recommended

    Jeff_P, Oct 2025
    Really nice time. 3 hours flew by. Ambiance was excellent, staff very friendly. Food was suburb , except dessert was just ok.

    Last night in sydney

    Tatje_D, Aug 2025
    I was worried about the boat not being there when we arrived but on the exact time they said they would be there they were. The food was slow but very good. The weather was horrible the night we cruised but we were still able to get our pictures we wanted. The staff was Amazing and kept our wine glasses full. It’s a smallish cruise so a nice family date situation. Not a party boat. And just what we were looking for

    The trip did not leave...

    REBECCA_G, Jun 2025
    The trip did not leave when advertised. In fact, the boat never showed up, despite multiple reminder emails. This was especially a bummer since it was my birthday. So I needed to go the a similar trip that left several hours later instead.

    Harbor Cruise

    Kell_S, Jun 2025
    Only way to see the HARBOR AND THE BRIDGE. The Opera house was not lit up so get your pictures right away

    A very good trip the crew...

    Michael_R, May 2025

    Harbour sites are amazing

    Dan_B, May 2025
