Guest Reviews

    “We were visiting Sydney from New Zealand on our way to Norfolk Island and Tasmania and a couple of friends travelled down from New Castle to see us. I booked the cruise for the 4 of us to have a lunch, sightsee and catch up. The cruise and the meal was fantastic. The choice of food was perfect. The crew were very professional, friendly and welcoming, Sofia looked after us and gave us a great experience. The commentary was just enough as well and informative. Thanks for a great time.”
