Worthwhile visual intro to Sydney - This cruise provided a good historical and cultural introduction to Sydney. The audio commentary was worthwhile. Many beautiful photo ops. The seating inside was very comfortable.

A memorable occasion - It was a great trip with great weather. We enjoyed views of Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Fort Denison, Garden Island and the Harbour foreshore. The staff were friendly and concerned about safety and the facilities on board were first class. It was one of the highlights of my visit to Sydney.

Cruising Down The Harbor = Relaxation and Fabulous Photos - What a relaxing way to view Sydney. The experience allowed us to see the Opera House from all views and we were able to get some spectacular pictures of many iconic landmarks. The tour was organized, the snacks were delicious, and we had a great time.

Nice Way to Relax on an afternoon - ABSOLUTELY RELAXING! Download the app to learn about the sites you pass. Nice lil charcuterie board with bread and crackers. The sparking wine and beer were nice. Great 1 1/2 hours!

Really nice, but . . . - Beautiful ship. Right in time! Only negative, those working on our level seemed very impersonal for the most part. Workers were scurrying around getting the cabin prepared for what looked like a large party clanking silverware and plates, etc.

Was a good trip, even... - Was a good trip, even though it rained a little. You need to connect with your phone to get the explanations right at the start, not like me.

Drinks are a rip off, below average experience - We went on this cruise for the Vivid Sydney event (light show/fireworks). Overall it was below average. No management of pushy tourists. Drinks were an absolute rip off! $20 for a crappy bourbon & coke. Don't bother bringing cash as they don't have change. Glad we didn't do the sit down dinner. Definitely don't recommend!

Lame vivid fireworks 'experience'... - Shambolic queuing to get on board, cruise out to Taronga to view 10 minutes of fireworks, cruise back... that's it another overpriced Aussie tourist experience.... And the captain cook cruises ad shows opera house fireworks!
