Did the sunset buffet dinner cruise, lovely boat with wonderful staff. There could have been more hot dishes but we got full. Dessert was pretty good too. Apart from the sunset the boat itself does not venture far out. They don't ask you when you are booking but there are a number of tables on the outdoor deck, see if you can ask for one.

Did the buffet dinner cruise on 13 December. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sunset views were nice. Good variety of food. Commentary was advertised, however none provided. So as we cruised past all the sights, the lack of explanation as to what we were passing and its historical significance was severely lacking. As a result, 90 minutes in to a 2.5 hour cruise, we were more than ready to depart.

Really enjoyed our cruise. We purchased the buffet dinner package and the food was amazing. I struggled a little with the heat but the staff gave out little fans which helped. Enjoyed our views and had a wonderful sunset experience.

I’ve been taking this cruise every year for the past four years, and I can confidently say that this year was by far the best experience! The crew was incredibly attentive, the food was exceptional, and the recent renovations to the buffet and bar were fantastic. I even had the chance to enjoy a delicious frozen cocktail! I’m already looking forward to coming back next year!
