Cabaret Dinner Cruise a Shining Star on Sydney Harbour

With all its fabulous glitz and glamour, the Sydney Showboats dinner cruise is a Moulin Rouge-meets-Vegas cabaret show with an Aussie twist. In signature Sydney style, the experience is a melting pot of international cultures, as well as old and new. The vibrant song list takes you around the globe with classic show tunes and iconic dances, sprinkled with a few modern hits and Aussie nostalgia.

Brimming with youthful talent and beauty, the dancers keep up the high-energy pace as they move gracefully across the stage and through musical genres. The leading lady is a glittering star, exuding old Hollywood glamour in her array of sequined gowns and a voice that flawlessly carries show tunes into the night.

Naturally, Sydney Harbour does its best to steal the show, captivating its audience at sunset and dazzling with its evening city lights. The cruise provides plenty of opportunity to snap a picture-perfect moment as the boat cruises under the Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House.

Just as much a part of the Sydney landscape as its surrounds on King Street Wharf, the iconic red and white showboat instantly sets the tone of the evening by transporting you to a golden era. More than seven million guests have been warmly greeted on the wharf by dancers in all their feathers and fanfare.

From the moment you are welcomed on-board by the smiling crew and service team, a personal and attentive service is carried through until guests say their final farewells. As you settle in, dancers elegantly glide through the dining room to offer Insta-worthy photos.

Central to Sydney’s dining experience is its exceptional seafood. A chilled appetiser of fresh prawns and smoked salmon awaits your arrival at the table, just calling out to be accompanied by a glass of bubbles or signature cocktail.

The option to pre-book a dining package to best suit your celebration allows you to sit back and relax for the rest of the night. A generous individual main course followed by a shared dessert of pretty tarts leaves you more than satisfied.

For an extra special treat, the Prestige package includes a bottle of Chandon on arrival and two additional courses of lobster thermidor and a cheese platter, delivering a truly luxurious touch to the evening.

The diversity of the audience captures the wide appeal of the showboat experience. Visitors and locals, date nights for all generations, girls’ nights out, family celebrations, and work friends all come together to share the fun and friendly atmosphere. The performers expertly guide the show to draw in an enthusiastic audience, with wide grins and happy cheers from bow to stern.

Sydney Showboats has been delighting audiences since 1987 with its timeless appeal. In a city that offers dining aplenty, the razzle dazzle of Sydney’s longest running cabaret show is a standout local experience, set to the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
