Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted — simply present your booking confirmation at the gangway when you board.
Can I choose where I sit on board?
Seating — both indoor and outdoor — is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved in advance, so arriving early gives you the best pick.
Is the food suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. The buffet dinner includes a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes alongside other options.
My child is under 5 — do I need to buy them a ticket?
Children under 5 are free of charge, though they will not be allocated a dedicated seat.
Are there cruises every night during Vivid Sydney?
Departures run Monday through Sunday, with separate ticket options for weekdays (Monday–Thursday) and weekends (Friday–Sunday). Select the slot that suits your schedule when booking.
What if the weather is poor on the night?
The vessel has indoor seating as well as open decks, so you can stay comfortable inside if conditions are unfavourable while still viewing the light displays through the windows.
