Jerry Bailey Australia Day Lunch

Celebrate Australia Day in a new yet familiar setting. Experience the magnificent Sydney Harbour with the best seats in the house on the 2026 Australia Day Cruise.

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.

LUNCH CRUISE - 10.15am to 2pm
During the lunch cruise program you will 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, reflecting the Australian spirit, mateship, and sense of community.
