What's included?

3-hour cruise on Sydney harbour
Contemporary 3-course a la carte dining

The MV Sydney 2000 isn't just any boat; it was the vessel chosen for the official arrival of Pope Benedict XVI so you know you're onto something special! Be welcomed aboard by friendly staff and feel the excitement on board. Sydney's beautiful skyline beckons... cruise under the Harbour Bridge, past the Opera House and see bays of the expansive harbour you didn't even know existed.

Relax and soak up the views from your beautifully laid vantage point, taking in an entrée selection of fresh seafood or vegetarian antipasto. As the landmarks continue to roll by and the sun flickers off your wine glass, you'll enjoy a main of grilled eye fillet with mashed potato and a rich veal jus, or maybe succulent Barramundi, whilst you're out on the water. The menu is varied and the food, delicious.

With personalised service, great food and truly world-class views, this experience is one of a kind!

3 course a la carte lunch

Katrina 3 May 2026

Was given a table in the centre, no window views. Food was nice but was served very quickly. Menu said leisurely lunch, waitresses were rushing the serving. 3 courses served in less than 50 minutes on a 3.5 hour cruise. Cruise around the harbour had amazing views, although it felt like a taxi service. Darling harbour to circular quay to pick up more guests, short cruise. Back to Darling harbour to drop off and pick up again. Back to circular quay to drop off and pick up again. Another short cruise. Drop off guests at circular quay then finish at Darling harbour. Trip advertised as a 3.5 hour 3 course a Le carte cruise. Felt more like a taxi service constantly dropping and picking up. Was disappointed. Would have preferred to stay out cruising without the constant drop off and pick ups. Won’t use the company again.

Not worth it

Nia 14 March 2024

Not worth the money, quality of the food was not the best, the manager lady with short hair was rude. The boat keeps going back and forth to the same wharfs they class that as a 3hour cruise
