— What You Can Expect —
Just when you thought a Sydney Harbour Cruise couldn’t get any better, Vivid returns for yet another year of spectacular light, art, and music displays.
Join Fantasea Cruising to explore the waterside wonder of this annual festival as you cruise along to the official Vivid Sydney playlist, and watch in awe as magical projections illuminate the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
From its humble beginnings back in 2009, Vivid Sydney is now one of the Harbour city’s most anticipated events. With increased Sydney Harbour waterfront activations, there is no better time to combine Sydney Harbour cruising with your Vivid Sydney exploration.
To ensure you can make the most out of your evening, Fantasea Cruising’s Vivid Sydney Harbour Cruises depart from Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. Over the course of one hour, the cruise will take you on a journey showing off the foreshore installations from the perspective of the friendly crew, who are lucky enough to live and breathe Sydney Harbour every day.
With this winter wonderland set to take place in May and June, Vivid Sydney is sure to light up the main precincts of Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, and the Sydney skyline bigger and better than ever. So book with KKday for your Vivid Sydney Harbour Cruise and get ready to climb aboard!
