Lunch Cruise with Music on Sydney Harbour

Posted By : Lesley_M
One of the worst Viator excursions we’ve taken. Details said MAX 10 people and it was a big tug with about 100 people. Music? A great duo who had to keep moving from upstairs to downstairs to play. NO carved anything the buffet, and by the time our table was called (16), they had run out of most things. The stairs to the second deck where they sat us were extremely steep and narrow and EXTREMELY difficult to navigate with plates of food and beverages. No narration on the harbor tour.

Lovely long lunch with spectacular harbour views on a beautiful clear Summer’s day. The music was the icing on the cake. Absolutely perfect.

We had a very enjoyable afternoon taking in the stunning views of Sydney Harbour to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and plenty of it and good value for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the music, Rebecca, the jazz singer had a lovely singing voice and was accompanied by a pianist. The boat is a bit dated, depending on the breeze, the diesel smell was a bit overpowering at times wafting in through the window. A good time to get up and move outside to get some fresh air. Note there is no commentary about the harbour or an explanation about what you are looking at. Recommend the trip, to those who want to celebrate a special occasion or see the harbour from the water, with a nice lunch without spending a lot of money.

Our group recently enjoyed a delightful lunch cruise on Sydney Harbor, and while it's not your typical guided tour, in fact, it's not a tour at all. Just a pleasant lunch on Sydney Harbor. The concept could be modernized with a user-friendly website featuring points of interest along the way and a QR code for easy access, but the casual dining experience was a delight for everyone. The buffet-style spread offered a variety of tasty options, including fresh oysters, succulent shrimp, flavorful chicken, and tender beef, accompanied by an array of veggies and salads. While the music may not have been the main highlight for us, its jazzy and low-key vibe provided a pleasant backdrop to our afternoon. Overall, we found the experience to be enjoyable and relaxing, a perfect prelude to our upcoming New Zealand cruise. Would we do it again? Absolutely! We unanimously agreed that it's a fun way to unwind and would recommend it to others looking for a laid-back waterfront dining experience."

The music was very relaxing and the chicken and shredded beef was delightful. The decor was very dated and table linens would go a long way with providing the touch of elegance the cruise lacked.

Lunch cruise was good but the instructions from Viator were horrible! They should let you know that the boat will show up on wharf boards about 15 minutes prior to boarding. We were very early hoping to enjoy a leisurely coffee while waiting but instead spent 90 minutes trying to find Vagabond and everyone we asked gave different directions. We were about to give up and then it appeared on the board. Viator should send the wharf number as soon as it is available.

We were on a three hour lunch cruise of which 20 minutes we were docked picking up passengers on another mooring so the cruise was only for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Whilst we were docked the bar was closed without telling anyone and there were 14 of us lined up not knowing what was going on. I complained to the cruise director who just shrugged it off. No apology was given to anyone on the cruise. The two couples next to us were from overseas and said that it ruined their Sydney experience

Loved, loved, loved the Melbourne Cup Lunch Cruise 2023 on Sydney Harbour. The food was fantastic just being on the Harbour is special. The staff worked tirelessly and were very accommodating . I went with a couple of my friends who enjoyed the day as much as me. Thank you to the Management and Staff. Well done.
