Just when you thought a Sydney Harbour Cruise couldn’t get any better, VIVID returns for yet another year of spectacular light, art and music displays.

Join Fantasea Cruising as we explore the waterside wonder of this annual festival, cruising to the official VIVID Sydney playlist, watching in awe as magical projections illuminate the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.

From VIVID’s humble beginnings back in 2009 till today , VIVID Sydney is now one of the Harbour city’s most anticipated events, and with increased Sydney Harbour waterfront activations there is no better time to combine Sydney Harbour cruising with your VIVID Sydney exploration.

To ensure you can make the most out of your evening, Fantasea Cruising’s, VIVID Sydney Harbour Cruises depart twice every night from Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. Over the course of one hour we will take you on a journey showing off the foreshore installations from the perspective of our friendly crew, who are lucky enough to live and breathe Sydney Harbour every day.

With this winter wonderland set to take place in May and June, VIVID Sydney is sure to light up the main precincts of Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and Barangaroo and the Sydney Skyline bigger and better than the years before.

Why a Harbour cruise?

As you sail by, each landscape unfolds like a living painting with vibrant colors and moving light and shadow. This perspective not only lets you have a unique experience of the beautiful light displays from your comfortable seat on the ship, but it also avoids the crowds on the land to maximise your encounter with Sydney's iconic events. The expertise and enthusiasm of the crew will also echance the ambience and add a bonus to your experience, turning your cruise into more than just an incredible sightseeing oppurtunity but an unforgettable part of the Vivid Sydney celebrations.
