Journey Beyond Cruise Sydney all-inclusive Harbour Lunch Cruise
Best way to cruise the harbour
Nice food and drink on board. The weather was drizzly that day so we weren't able to make use of the open air upper deck, but we did go outside to take pictures of the harbour and the opera house. Would definitely recommend.

Sydney Cocktail Harbour Bar Cruise with Charcuterie Board
A beautiful view of Sydney at night
This cruise was a perfect way to see the whole of the Sydney harbour area and stunning views of the bridge and Opera House by night. Boarding was very efficient and our window table reserved ready for us. The charcuterie boards were very nice and the drinks arrived very quickly. The tour was an ideal length to see everything but not be sitting around with too much time to spare. We all really enjoyed the evening.
