Cruise through a symphony of lights
Immerse yourself in the Vivid Lights Sydney Harbour Cruise, a visual spectacle that kicks off annually in late May. From the moment you step onto the cruise ship at Darling Harbour, you'll be transported into a world of color and light. As the cruise drifts along, you'll witness the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the sails of the Sydney Opera House illuminated in a breathtaking display of lights. Don't miss out on the scenic precincts of Barangaroo, The Rocks, and Circular Quay on your 1.5-hour journey. These sights are not only a photographer's dream but also a delightful spectacle for the casual viewer.
Unforgettable views and exclusive comfort
With an onboard bar serving a selection of wines, beers, and sodas, you can purchase and sip your favorite drink as you bask in the glow of Sydney's iconic landmarks. What makes it the best option for this Vivid Sydney? It allows you to bypass the bustling crowds and foot blisters, offering a comfortable vantage point for the vivid light displays across the city. The cruise concludes where it begins, at Darling Harbour, an area that's beautifully lit up, offering even more sights to explore before and after your journey on the waters. By the way, did you know that the tradition of illuminating the sails of the Sydney Opera House started with Vivid Sydney in 2009, and since then, the festival has featured artwork from an Australian Indigenous artist on the sails?
