Thoroughly enjoyed the three hour cruise in Sydney Harbour with Vagabond Cruises. Of course, Sydney harbour views are so stunning. The live Jazz performers were excellent. Super smooth voice and wonderful mastery of the guitar, not too loud so you can still have conversations. The food was a buffet - slow cooked beef, chicken, prawns, natural oysters, salmon and delish salads and veggies - yum. We were on the old boat and we could open the windows and get the sea breeze in. There was a deck out the front and an upstairs room and deck out the back - so plenty of room. Staff were young, friendly and competent. Price is great for the length of time you are out enjoying the views, food and music. Cruised along quite slowly. A suggestion would be, if you could go a bit faster, is there scope to head to the heads and or wander under ANZAC bridge as well? I think that would be amazing. So very worth while.

Very disappointed with our experience with Vagabond Cruise on June 7, 2026. We arrived early and started lining up at around 7:45 PM for our 8:00 PM cruise. The boat arrived on time, and we saw staff cleaning, so we assumed they were preparing for passengers to board. However, more than 10 minutes past 8:00 PM, the boat simply left without any announcement or explanation. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of communication. A simple notification or update would have helped, but we were left standing there wondering what had happened. It wasn't just our family—there were heaps of other people lined up, confused and frustrated as well. I had booked 5 tickets, including dinner, because we wanted to enjoy a meal while watching Vivid. Instead, we were left hungry and disappointed, especially since it was already quite late for my family. I am requesting a refund for the food and service that we were unable to receive due to circumstances that were never explained to us. Thankfully, Legend Cruises accommodated us on their boat, but it was not the evening we had planned or paid for. The experience caused unnecessary stress and disappointment. Sadly, this experience means we will never book with Vagabond again. To anyone considering this cruise, I would advise caution. Based on our experience, poor communication and customer service turned what should have been a special family night into a very disappointing one.

We attended the 8:00pm Vivid Sydney Harbour Cruise on 7 June with Vagabond Cruises, it was a fantastic way to enjoy the Vivid festival. The upper deck offered an incredible vantage point to enjoy the Vivid light displays without battling the crowds onshore. Seeing Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge illuminated from the water was just beautiful and made for some amazing photo opportunities that I couldn’t achieve on land. The crew were friendly and welcoming, ensuring that everyone was well looked after throughout the evening. The food was enjoyable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and there was plenty of space on the viewing decks to take in the sights. The 1.5-hour cruise was the perfect length. I would happily recommend to both locals and visitors looking for something special during the festival. A wonderful evening on Sydney Harbour – highly recommended!

What an amazing Christmas Harbour Cruise we just had today, with Vagabond Cruises! It also was my birthday (double celebration!), and the 3 hour Sydney Harbour Cruise was just beautiful. Thank you, Valentina, who was our amazing service person tending to our table. She was so lovely, and offered great advice, great service, and was super friendly too! She also suggested other cruises we can do with Vagabond Cruises, including a Latin Cruise and others we can do for lunch or dinner. On our Christmas cruise today; the food was amazing (seafood, hot and cold meats, salads, oysters - super fresh and delicious!), and the yummy Christmas cake dessert along with bonbons and fresh fruit, was delicious! We also took out the drinks package and enjoyed lovely Champagne and wine with our lunch. The decorations and festive music also added to the fun of the day. I'll cruise again with Vagabond for sure. Great value, great service, and a fun atmosphere!

Sally & I enjoyed almost 4 hours on Sydney Harbour last Saturday 31st January. The service was excellent, food was delicious & the Harbour was at it’s shiny best. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Thank you Vagabond. We will definitely return!!
