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!

Sunday Jazz Lunch cruise on 23 November exceeded my expectations. MV "Vagabond Spirit" looked good on the outside and was even better on the inside. Greeted by young and cheerful staff made me and my friend feel very welcome. Clean and tidy table layout (see photo) with allocated seats was great .. no free-for-all. Deck air-conditioning made for comfortable experience. Twin hull vessel was very stable. Served buffet lunch exceeded expectations. Huge fresh prawns, delightful oysters, chicken and beef dishes plus vegetables and salads. Plenty for all ! Fruits and sweets completed the lovely lunch. Good range of alcoholic and soft drinks. However, post-mix soft drinks are never as good as a bottle or can (Vagabond, please note !). Duo played all the great Jazz standards from Frank Sinatra and others at a loudness level that still allowed conversation. Sadly the small dance floor was covered by the food tables. I managed one dance just before disembarking ! Sydney Harbour cruise passed under the bridge and cruised close to famous landmarks. Great for out of town visitors ! I recommend Vagabond Cruises. Great value for 3 hours of harbour cruising, delicious lunch and jazz music. Time went quickly and everyone had fun.

What a fabulous night! I celebrated my birthday with my besties on the Latin Fiesta Dinner Cruise and we had an incredible time! The crew were fantastic—thank you, Daniella, for your warm welcome and for reminding us of the wonderful spirit of the Venezuelan people. The food was abundant, fresh, and delicious, and the entertainment was so lively, fun, and inclusive. The DJ was the absolute BEST—we haven’t danced that much in ages! There was a great variety of music to suit all tastes, and every request was happily fulfilled. And of course, the views of the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Luna Park and the bay were spectacular. I 100% recommend this experience, and we’re already planning to come back next year!

Me and my fiancée went on their jazz lunch cruise and the entire experience was an absolute delight! We were welcomed by the staff cheerfully and we were even granted another table when we opted for a more quiet sitting. The lunch buffet was very delicious. The live jazz makes the experience even more special. And the staff’s service and assistance was topnotch! Definitely recommend to try this one of a kind experience!
