Which departure point should I choose — Darling Harbour or Circular Quay?

Both routes cover the same harbour and landmarks. Choose whichever is closer to your hotel or easier to reach that evening. Darling Harbour departs at 5:00 PM; Circular Quay departs at 5:30 PM.

What is the dress code?

Smart casual is required for all guests. Think neat trousers or a dress — beachwear, thongs, and sportswear are not permitted onboard.

Is the window-seat upgrade worth it?

If you're visiting for the views or celebrating a special occasion, window seating gives you a dedicated table beside the panoramic windows with unobstructed sightlines to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Are children welcome, and do they need their own ticket?

Yes. Children under 4 are free of charge. Children aged 4 and over require a paid child ticket and must be accompanied by a paying adult. A separate child menu is available — see the link in the 'Good to know' section.

Is there live music every night?

Live music is available on weekend sailings only. Weekday cruises do not include live entertainment, though the harbour views and dinner remain the same.

Can I see the menu before I book?

Yes. The adult and child menus are available to view online before you confirm your booking. Note that dishes may be served on an alternate basis.
