Vivid Lights & Cabaret Delights On The Showboat Vivid Cruise
Every day, 7pm to 10pm Friday 22 May to Saturday 13 June
Experience Vivid Sydney 2026 from a truly unique vantage point — aboard a classic paddlewheeler gliding through the heart of Sydney Harbour. This unforgettable cruise brings together a freshly prepared 3-course dinner, live cabaret entertainment and uninterrupted views of the festival’s most spectacular light installations, all in one seamless evening on the water.
Departing at 7:30 pm as the city begins to glow, you'll glide past some of Vivid Sydney's most iconic installations. Marvel at 'Opera Mundi,' a breathtaking large-scale projection that transforms the Opera House sails into a canvas of colour, and the dazzling 'Molecule of Light' laser show, which lights up the harbour in a mesmerising display after dark.
A highlight of the evening is the exclusive cabaret show, Voyage of Love. This vibrant production blends music, dance and theatrical storytelling, celebrating love across cultures before closing with a nostalgic Australian finale that complements the energy of the festival.
The cruise runs for approximately 3 hours. While you enjoy dinner and the show from your reserved seating, you’re also free to step out onto the decks to take in the views and capture the lights from different vantage points.
