The boarding time for your cruise is usually 15-20 minutes before the departure time mentioned on your voucher. We suggest that you arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time to ensure you’re able to board your cruise and settle down before the boat departs.

Spring and summer (from September to February )is the best time to go on a dinner cruise in Sydney. Spring and summer in Australia are relatively cool with low chances of rain , and dinner cruises are especially charming at this time of the year. However, there may be large crowds as well so you may have to make your reservations in advance. 

Autumns and winters (from March to August ) are a little chilly over the waters. Especially during peak winters (April to June) , we suggest that you carry a few extra layers to keep yourself warm. The Vivid Sydney festival of art and lights is also usually around this time of the year, making Vivid Sydney dinner cruises an extremely popular activity amongst tourists. Expect greater crowds during the festival and make your bookings in advance to avoid missing out on them. 

Weekday cruises also tend to have fewer crowds . However, some cruises are only available over the weekends , but you may upgrade your seats for premium and private seating as well. 

Sydney Harbour dinner cruises usually have multiple boarding points across the harbor. However, the most common boarding point for most dinner cruises is King Street Wharf. 

Address: The Promenade, Lime St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. Find on Maps

By bus: Nearest bus stops are at the King Street Wharf stops on both Erskine Street and King Street. Buses 252 and 261 stop here.

By ferry or HOHO: Get down at King Street Wharf and walk over to the wharf number of your cruise. 

Car parks nearby: Secure parking - King St. Wharf and 132 Sussex Street Car Park

  • Note: Get the wharf number for your specific cruise on your mobile voucher.
  • Indoor-outdoor seating: Whether you want to sit under the stars or inside the cabin, you will most likely be able to choose your seating. 
  • Upgraded window seats: Some cruises with multiple decks allow you to upgrade your seats to a window seat for an additional price. 
  • Welcome drink: Some cruises welcome you aboard with a complimentary drink. 
  • Comprehensive menus: Select from a wide variety of dishes and beverages for your dinner. 
  • Dietary inclusions: If you have any special dietary requirements, mention them while booking your tickets and the cruise will try to accommodate your requests. 
  • Wheelchair accessibility: Some cruises are also wheelchair accessible. Do confirm the same before booking your specific cruise to ensure that the necessary accommodations can be made. 
  • Trained skipper: Most dinner cruises also include an experienced deckhand or skipper to address any concerns or requests you may have during your meal. 
  • Live music: Usually over the weekends, some cruises offer live music and dancing.

A Sydney dinner cruise is a sophisticated affair where a certain amount of etiquette is expected . If you step aboard wearing flip-flops, you’re certain to raise some eyebrows. 

We suggest that you dress in smart casuals , or if you’re willing to go the extra mile, even in semi-formals for your dinner cruise. 

This means that men can wear formal and semi-formal shirts , either with a blazer or jacket . Ties and bowties are encouraged. For shoes, you can wear semi-formal derbys or loafers with a matching pair of socks. 

For women, we recommend semi-formal and smart casual dresses or a semi-formal blouse with a skirt . Peep-toes or pumps with a short heel or even stilettos would be a great pick.

  • Follow safety instructions: Boarding a vessel that floats atop water is bound to have some safety rules. Make sure that you follow the rules mentioned on signs or shared by the crew. 
  • Keep your children close: Keep your child accompanied at all times to make sure that they don’t wander off, especially if there are any obstacles on the deck. 
  • Arrive early: Boarding for the cruise usually starts 20 minutes before departure. Be sure to arrive on time to get some time to settle down. 
  • Carry medication for sickness: If you’re prone to feeling carsick or seasick, carry the necessary medication for your cruise to ensure you’re not queasy during your dinner.

Frequently asked questions about Sydney Harbour dinner cruises

Yes, you have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available on most dinner cruises. While booking your tickets, you can most likely also view the menu for that cruise for you to refer.

Your Sydney dinner cruise can certainly take any special requests you may have. To make sure that the crew makes the necessary inclusions for your dietary requests, mention them while booking your tickets itself.

The Sydney Harbour has a spectacular view of the cityscape, with old buildings of the Rocks on one side and the urban backdrop behind the Opera House on the other, especially after dark.

Natalie was amazing. Great service and overall a lovely person. Very helpful with our questions.

It was lovely and the staff were amazing, happy to help and serve as much as we needed. It would have been nice if there was eg a pianist or something to aid more of an atmosphere. However we loved it and will recommend.

A pleasant experience with wonderful staff thank you very much.

Could have more choices of beer and spirits. Overall we had a great time this food was fantastic and the service was fantastic.

regionally sourced food and fine wine

Whilst you cruise around the Harbour, we will serve you an amazing array of seasonal and regionally sourced food and wine. On our lunch cruise we treat you to a delicious two-course all-inclusive menu, including a decadent dessert. If you’re joining us on our dinner cruise, you’ll enjoy a multi-course chef-designed all-inclusive menu featuring the best of New South Wales ingredients, all of which showcase the multicultural influences on the Sydney dining scene. Pair both of these cruise menus with wines from some of New South Wales’ most prestigious wine regions and you’ve got the perfect culinary experience.

Come and experience the stunning Sydney Harbour with us. We concentrate on the little things, and that’s what makes a big difference.

Our Harbour cruise was magnificent

Our Harbour cruise was magnificent, from the Champagne and canapes on the top of the ship with the wonderful harbour view to the restaurant downstairs. We paid for the 6 course dinner with matching wine. Every course was excellent and the Pendfolds wines where wonderful. The staff looked after us like VIP, as we celebrated our 43rd Anniversary we felt very special with all the attention. It was definitely worth the money we paid for this cruise. We would recommend this cruise to family and friends for sure. Thank you again for making our Anniversary unforgettable and so special.

Great value & Excellent service by Shirley.

We took the tour to celebrate my birthday and it was a fantastic night.

We took the tour to celebrate my birthday and it was a fantastic night. The food was incredible and the ambience was excellent. If you're a serious foodie or wine buff you might be a little disappointed by the low level of explanation about cooking technique or characteristics of the wine and why they were chosen to match the food but for those out for a relaxed celebration, the generous pours and friendly, helpful attitude of the wait staff more than compensated. We felt we had exceptional value and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone travelling to Sydney
