Vivid Sydney Cruises

If you already watched the vivid Sydney decorations, taking that cruise and spending money is completely a waste. Don’t do that, we cannot see much from the cruise ride, it is not worth it at all. You can go around by walk and get better captures or take a ferry from Circular Quay, the same thing 10 times cheaper.

It's such a beautiful show. But this year, crowds are similar to New Year's celebrations. Because of that suffered a bit much.

It’s a very lively place! Free drinks and beverages on board and a great viewing deck. They are very friendly as well. However, it’s a bit crowded, but everything else is great. :)

I was great to see Vivid caming back after 2 years and all Covid madness. I was good to see Opera House lighing up again and all buildings nearby.

Very glad this event comes back. Had a great time with family

We arrived at 6 o’clock, anticipating a pleasant boat ride scheduled for 7. Instead, we were subjected to an hour-long wait in the pouring rain, only to be informed that our boat had already departed. This experience was beyond frustrating. Not only were we left soaking wet with no shelter provided, but the lack of communication and basic customer care was appalling. This was a complete waste of time and money, and we are demanding a refund or a spot on another boat. Avoid this company at all costs!

We came here at 6 o’clock and the boat was at 7. We waited in the rain for an hour and then got told our boat already left. Would not recommend. They don’t even have space to go to when it’s POURING down rain. We better get a refund or another boat!!!

Travelled specially to visit Vuvid Sydney. Stunning display of light work and the drone show was spectacular. Loved spending our time by the circular quay and rocks area. Toilets were available but very long queues due to lots of people turning up to witness this marvel after a 2 year hiatus.

My friends and I chose The Starship to catch up on Australia Day as it had really been too long! Value for money - Under $40 for several hours entertainment - very good. Food and drink extra... Reasonably priced especially for the middle of Sydney. We settled on the middle of the three decks which had a bar, comfortable lounges and tall tables with stools outside on the deck which was still under cover. Whilst one might have thought the harbour view would have been impeded by sitting on the lounges, the view of all the Australia Day activities on the harbour was great as you could still see through the glass balustrade (?? insert correct nautical term here :) and past the legs on the bar stools! Clever design, Starship! There wasn't a huge range of food, but it was good quality - fish and chips with lemon and tartare sauce, HUGE king prawns with dressing in a bowl and seaweed salad, delicious little chicken skewers and a gelato/ ice cream bar. We LOVED the music - all Australian (of course), mostly classics. The vibe was so good when everyone got up and danced... Who knows what went on on the other decks? They had their own music and whilst I passed through (not out on :) those decks, I reckon the middle deck is the best.
