Nightly Official Vivid Sydney Light Cruises

Experience the full canvas of Vivid Sydney Lights from the water. Special Vivid Lights sightseeing cruises depart nightly from Darling Harbour including approximately 1.5 hours of relaxed cruising.

Sydney Harbour provides a natural theatre for Vivid Sydney’s dazzling light displays. Captain Cook Cruises has released an exciting program of family-friendly Vivid Light cruises taking in the key precincts of Barangaroo, The Rocks and Circular Quay including Sydney Harbour Bridge and the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

Water adds an extra dimension, with a kaleidoscope of light reflecting in every direction. It is a photographer’s paradise and a great way to experience the light displays along the foreshore, across multiple precincts.
