Vivid Sydney Cruise Experience
Vivid Festival is back in Sydney for the year 2020, gifting Sydney an aural and visual treat of lights, music and creativity! With exceptional marketing, partnership campaigns and outstanding programming in the pipeline, Vivid Lights 2020 is primed to outdo the previous year.
The Vivid Sydney Harbour cruise aboard the Showboat treats you to the best of the Vivid spectacle that transforms Sydney into a creative canvas of lights, music and ideas.
Vivid Sydney’s most spectacular displays are centred on the harbour, making a Vivid Sydney Harbour cruise with dinner one of the most sought-after experiences during this Lights Festival. These magical displays can be seen and experienced from ashore, but a Vivid Sydney cruise is the best way to enjoy the brilliance of this aquatic wonderland.
A Vivid harbour cruise is also the best way to get away from the crowds and experience the best of the Vivid Sydney attractions in complete luxury. And when you go on a unique paddlewheeler Vivid dinner cruise, you’ll combine 2 must-do experiences in one.
As you board the Sydney Showboat for your Vivid dinner cruise, glamorous showgirls usher you into the old-world paddlewheeler that celebrates the quixotic world of glitz and glamour. The Showboat Vivid dinner cruise is a winning combination of dazzling views of Vivid Light installations that illuminate the harbour, by stunning showgirls, dancers & musicians and a three-course seated and served deluxe dinner.
You will be regaled by our in-house entertainers while you enjoy your delectable meal. You can take in the Vivid spectacle in all its glory as you stroll the wrap-around balconies of your Vivid Sydney cruise. The magical transformation of the sails of the Sydney Opera House as they come alive with brilliant patterns and colours is the hallmark of the Vivid Sydney Festival!
Be there on the Showboat Vivid dinner cruise to capture the creative side of Sydney in all its flamboyance! With this unique Vivid cruise Sydney experience waiting for you, don’t wait up and book today!

Recent Guest Reviews Through The Eyes of Our Guests
Wonderful show, delicious food- what’s not to like?! I can’t find fault with our experience. The Showboat performers and show were marvellous.
Geof
Great experience & will definitely do another cruise with your company. Show was outstanding
Ian
Beautiful boat, awesome experience. Food, show, views - great time and value for money. Better food than some of the better restaurants we had been too.
James
Exceeded my expectations. Will go again next year. Staff service was amazing
Steven
Overall we thought it was very good value for money with cruise, dinner and drinks included. It was even better when our table was right up near the stage and near a window. Have already recommended it to others.
John
All the staff were friendly particularly the head floor manager who introduced himself and provided useful information about the cruise and local transport. The food was tasty although I would have preferred an entree rather than dessert., or perhaps cheese instead. The show was very professional and entertaining. We were also very lucky to be able to enjoy the Sydney Vivid light display which the Showboat was very well positioned.
Chris
Everything was absolutely wonderful and the show a delight! Thank you for a fabulous evening (Mitch was spectacular;) )
Natasha
I'm really enjoyed have dinner and watching vivid, anyway thank so much for everyone
Martin
Hi There, this was our 3rd year seeing VIvid from the Show Boat Cruises. The experience has always been top notch, your staff professional, polite, attentive. The Show always fun and exciting. Being on the boat on Sydney Harbour for VIVID, the dinner and the atmosphere 10 stars. Our friends could not make it, so we have credit for another boat trip perhaps closer to warmer weather. Thank you and see you all again soon.
Marcel
Our experience on The Showboat was excellent overall and would readily recommend it for a fabulous evening on Sydney Harbour. My wife was hesitant about having a cruise with a show as she was particularly wanting to see Vivid from the water. Her words following the show that the performers delivered such a great show that it enhanced the Vivid experience and was a wonderful element to the evening.
Hiward
This was our fourth time on this Vivid dinner cruise, love it every time! Our guests (usually international or interstate) are always impressed as well. Massive EXCELLENT for the meal options and service - we had a vegan with us this year and their meal was well above expectations (which was zero as we were told no special catering). See you next year!
Stephanie
Thank you for the fantastic night. Your staff, food and entertainment was fabulous. We look forward to visiting you again.
Steve

Renee
Great experience and the entertainment was awesome, wonderful atmosphere with friendly and happy staff , very professional and value for money!
Peter
Fantastic night for our 21st Wedding Anniversary. *Ashlee (performer) met us at the check in gate as we were 1st in line and was so welcoming, easy to chat to and down to earth. Her happy demeanour set the tone for an awesome night overall with great service, nice meals and fantastic/fun entertainment. Definitely recommend the dinner/show. *Only criticism is there should be time for photos b4/after with performers as this was the only downer as photos set the scene and tell a thousand words. AA+
Craig
