Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Premium Harbour Experience and the Cocktail Harbour Bar cruise?
The Premium Harbour Experience departs in the early afternoon and includes smartphone audio commentary about Sydney's history and culture. The Cocktail Harbour Bar cruise departs at sunset and features a cocktail bar atmosphere with live acoustic music on Saturdays and Sundays — it's the more social, evening option.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at boarding — a screenshot works fine.
Which departure point should I choose?
Both Darling Harbour and Circular Quay are central Sydney locations. Circular Quay is steps from the Opera House and train station; Darling Harbour suits visitors staying in the CBD west or at Barangaroo. The cruise itself is identical whichever you choose.
Is food available on board?
The welcome drink is included. Additional food and drinks, including the Australian Cheese and Charcuterie Board and cocktails, are available to purchase on board. Full menus are available from Captain Cook Cruises directly.
Are children welcome, and is there a charge?
Yes, children are welcome. Children under 4 years old travel free of charge.
Is the cruise suitable for people with limited mobility?
The Sydney 2000 is a large vessel with indoor air-conditioned areas and outdoor decks. For specific accessibility requirements, we recommend contacting Captain Cook Cruises directly before booking.
