Australia Day: Harbour Cruise & Feast

Celebrate Australia Day in a new yet familiar setting. Experience the magnificent Sydney Harbour with the best seats in the house on the 2025 Australia Day Cruise.

Enjoy front-row seats to Ferrython, one of Australia’s most iconic events. Follow the ferries as they race from Barangaroo Wharf to Shark Island and back to the Harbour Bridge. Then, watch as Royal Australian Air Force aircraft soar across the sky in celebration of their 100th anniversary, reflecting the Australian spirit, mateship, and sense of community. To top off an extraordinary day, gaze at the sensational Australia Day fireworks while enjoying a sumptuous 3-course dinner.

Australia Day is one of the most important dates in Australian history, with records of celebration dating back more than two centuries. With decades of experience organizing Sydney Harbour cruises, including Australia Day cruises, we have perfected this 3.5-hour journey to ensure it’s enjoyable and fun for everyone. Our cruises have been a favorite for families with children, couples, and individuals alike, offering activities, food, and drinks that all guests will enjoy and remember fondly.

You can embark in the morning on our Australia Day lunch cruise, or book the evening Australia Day dinner cruise – whichever you and your company prefer. You will witness stellar views of the city both during the day and at night.
