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!

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!

We celebrated our end of year team lunch with Vagabond Cruises. It was a great experience with a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The bar staff were friendly and attentive, the seafood buffet was delicious and plentiful, and the live jazz band added a fantastic vibe to the whole trip. A really memorable cruise that I’d happily recommend.

I’ve already done several cruises with Vagabond, and every single one of them has been absolutely amazing! I’ve been on a Dinner Cruise, a Lunch Cruise, and now also a New Year’s Eve Cruise – and each experience was unforgettable. Everything was just incredible. The buffet was super delicious, with so much variety and great quality. The waitresses were unbelievably kind, attentive, and welcoming – you truly feel like the guest is king. The atmosphere, the service, the food – I loved every second of it. Vagabond never disappoints. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back again!✨🥹
