Witness Sydney’s Harbourside Filled With The Colours of Vivid Light Festival!
Every year, the world-renowned Vivid light festival returns to the shores of Sydney, bringing the city to life with the art, music, and the work of Australia’s leading creatives. Over the 3 week event, spectators can witness a sea of colour and energy flow across Circular Quay, The Rocks, Darling Harbour and into the city, with Sydney's iconic waterfront hosting some of the most thought-provoking installations on display this year. Get onboard a Vivid cruise to capture the magic
Any Boat cruises and private hires offer customers a front seat to all of Vivid’s action, as Sydney’s famous landmarks light up in a range of colours, images and holographic displays. Witness the unmissable Opera House and Harbour bridge installations, or sail past the dancing colours of Vivid's famous light walk from the decks of one of our luxury vessels. If you’ve never experienced the internationally renowned light festival on the water before, this year is the best time to check this key calendar event off your bucket list. And we’ve hand-picked some of the best in our fleet for the job:
