About this tour

Spend three hours cruising Sydney Harbour while tucking into a traditional Christmas feast, complete with roast turkey, fresh seafood, and all the trimmings. Live musicians perform throughout as you soak in views of the iconic harbour from open decks and wraparound windows. It's Christmas lunch reimagined on water, with a professional host keeping the energy up and prizes for the most questionable festive knitwear.

Highlights

  • Roast turkey and fresh seafood buffet on the water
  • Live music sets the mood across three hours
  • Turkey pudding and hot beverages included
  • Ugly sweater competition with prizes
  • Unobstructed harbour views from open decks
  • Alfresco dining with wraparound windows
  • Bar packages available to purchase separately

What to expect

You'll board a vessel with indoor and outdoor seating, taking in Sydney Harbour's landmarks as you move through the water. A self-serve buffet features roast turkey, carvery selections, and a seafood spread. Between courses, live performers work the decks. The host keeps things moving and encourages the sweater-judging moment. Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere rather than fine dining—think communal Christmas with harbour views and the gentle rock of the boat beneath you.
