Celebrate Sydney’s Biggest Events on the Harbour

Australia Day Cruises (26 Jan): Experience the nighttime Australia Day festivities from the heart of Sydney Harbour. Enjoy ‘Australia Day Live’ events, followed by the dazzling Australia Day fireworks lighting up the harbour, with a delicious dinner and live entertainment aboard the Showboat.

Vivid Sydney Cruises (End-May to Mid-June): The Showboat’s wrap-around verandahs and cathedral windows give you front-row views of the colourful Opera House projections, Harbour Bridge displays and stunning harbour fireworks, paired with a gourmet dinner and a live cabaret show.

Christmas Party Cruises (End-Nov to Mid-Dec): Gather your team, friends, or family for a festive night with dinner, drinks and entertainment aboard Sydney Harbour’s only paddlewheeler floating venue.

Christmas Day Cruise (25 Dec): Spend Christmas Day the right way. Trade the kitchen for the harbour and enjoy a special Christmas Day lunch cruise with all the Xmas-special dishes and stunning Sydney views.

NYE Fireworks Cruises (31 Dec): Celebrate the New Year from the best seat in the city. Watch Sydney’s iconic midnight fireworks light up the harbour from the water, with deluxe dinner and live entertainment to match the occasion.

Beyond the event calendar, the Showboat is the perfect venue for personal celebrations too—like birthdays, anniversaries, milestone moments. For something more exclusive, charter the entire vessel or book a private deck for your own event, with tailored menus and dedicated event spaces on board.

Whatever’s on, the Showboat makes it memorable.
