What you can expect
Jump aboard for a three-hour Christmas in July lunch cruise on the Sydney Harbour that’s all about good food, great tunes, and easy family fun. Grab a drink from the onboard bar, whether it’s a cold beer, a glass of wine, or a bit of bubbly, and settle in as live carols, jazz, and classic pop favourites set the mood. It’s relaxed, cheerful, and just a bit cheeky, especially once the ugly sweater comp kicks off with some fun prizes up for grabs!
When it’s time to eat, help yourself to a hearty seafood and carvery buffet packed with crowd favourites. Think fresh Sydney rock oysters, juicy prawns, smoked salmon, slow-cooked beef brisket, roast turkey with the trimmings, plus plenty of fresh salads and sides. Finish things off with warm Christmas pudding, custard, and a cuppa while you take in those iconic harbour views. Embrace a laid-back Sydney tradition as you celebrate Christmas in July together on a memorable day out.
