Tall Ship Sydney Harbour Twilight Cruise And Dinner - Adult

Code: STS391
  1. Valid for 12 months
  2. Free exchange

Cruise Sydney Harbour in classic style and comfort aboard Sydney’s only authentic timber tall ship. This tall ship cruise will take you sailing past some of Sydney Harbour’s most stunning attractions, all under the magic of the twilight sky. Come and experience the fun of twilight tall ship sailing!

The tall ship is a magnificent square rigger built in 1922 that has three masts reaching over 24m high. This experience can be as interactive as you wish. If you’d like to heave on a rope and help set the sails, you can. Otherwise you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment provided by the crew, chef and the barman, all of whom are at your service.

Departing from Sydney CBD, we cruise up to Watsons Bay and return under sail, watching the last hours of balmy sunshine bathe our beautiful harbour. You’ll learn about Sydney’s iconic landmarks as we cruise under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House, Fort Denison, Garden Island, Taronga Zoo, Luna Park and Admiralty House.

Along the way you will enjoy a delicious BBQ dinner including seafood.

The vessel served as flagship of the Bicentennial First Fleet reenactment voyage from Plymouth, England in 1988 and is now the last of these heroic ships to remain on Sydney Harbour. 200 years ago, a timber sailing ship was the only way to discover Sydney Harbour. And it still is!

Activity Highlights:

  • Watch the sun set over Sydney Harbour
  • Learn about the history of Sydney Harbour
  • Be part of the crew and help set the sails
  • Photo opportunities of iconic harbour features; the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Taronga Zoo and Luna Park
  • Opportunity to help the captain steer the ship (great photos!)

What's Included:

  • 2 hours sailing Experience on an authentic Tall Ship
  • Watch the sun set over Sydney Harbour
  • Delicious Aussie BBQ dinner including seafood.
  • Hands on sailing or simply sit back and relax

    Great experience, good crew, just the right amount of information about the boat and the harbour. Lots of opportunities to get involved with the activities on board. We even managed good weather. The food was quite good, however, finger bowls would have been useful after eating the prawns.

    The cruise was great. We really enjoyed talking with the staff who were all very friendly and informative. The food was of your average backyard BBQ standard, but still tasty, satisfying and comparable with the old time surroundings. Was really beautiful being under sail in the harbour with the shillouette's of the city around us.

    Had a great night, the staff on board the ship were friendly and the food was excellent. Limited space but that is normal for the type of ship it is and the staff handled that well by serving dinner on one side of the ship. Very good experience on the world's best harbour and would recommend this experience to friends and family.

    Very enjoyable. I honestly wouldn't have thought about doing it unless I was looking at everything on offer at RedBalloon ... After 2 minutes on board, I have NO IDEA why I wouldn't have thought about it before. What an experience. RedBalloon, thanks for being there for me, now all I need to do is figure out what I want to choose to do next!?

    It was a fabulous experience - lights of Sydney magic, food was good once we realised there was more in the galley below and the commentary was good. Perhaps a bit more commentary about the sights as we were from the country, but it was a very friendly, congenial experience. Thank you.

    Crew were great. Very cheery and worked hard to ensure everyone had a fun time. We went as a couple but there were several groups that obviously were work mates and they were partying! Might have been nice to have some more familiar wine labels. It was great that the skipper Marty was preserving some of our REAL history. It is spectacular to see a ship that has real character and history. Can't get this from modern vessels that are so commonplace.

I hadn't heard of it until just recently.........what a great idea. I don't think I will get stuck for gift ideas again.
