Sydney Harbour Dinner Cruise

With more than 30 years of cruising experience at the Sydney Harbour, and entertaining over 6 million guests, Sydney Showboats has a lot of history behind it. Here’s a little bit of that history… The Sydney Showboats are authentic air-conditioned paddlewheelers, reminiscent of those that plied the Sydney Harbour waters during the 1800s, before the coming of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Paddlewheelers were the backbone of the romantic era of commerce and nation building in Australia that lasted almost a century. Ferrying people & vehicles across the banks of the Sydney Harbour, paddlewheelers also functioned as popular entertainment venues for the general public. Kalang, a former vehicular ferry, made redundant by the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, was the original Showboat. The vessel was rebuilt as a Showboat to cruise Sydney Harbour by day and night until 1972.
