Day 5 - Sydney Harbour Dinner Crusie
Sydney Harbour is photogenic at any time of day, but as the sun sets and you get that pink glow, it really is something else. And of course, once the sun goes down, the city lights shine bright, and you appreciate what a gleaming metropolis Sydney really is. The dinner cruise allows you to see the Harbour from both perspectives, all in sublime comfort and style.
Departing from the Harbour at 6.25pm and begin our cruise towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge. As the sun begins to set, we are treated to some epic views of skyline and surrounding bays. There’s plenty of room on the expansive top, fore and after decks to ensure you get uninterrupted 360-degree views of the iconic attractions as we sail past.
As night falls and the city lights begin to sparkle, dinner is served. This is a thoughtful and regionally focussed menu, served over three courses. The chefs have created a menu that highlights the multicultural influences that make Sydney cuisine so special and used an array of fresh and beautiful New South Wales ingredients.
Dinner is paired with a selection of beers, wines, soft drinks and tea or coffee. Wines have been hand selected by the sommelier from some of the finest wine regions in New South Wales – so wine lovers are in for a real treat!
After dinner we head back past Taronga Zoo and Luna Park before arriving back at the Harbour.
