Uninterrupted Views of Vivid Lights 

Sydney goes all out during this winter festival, with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and skyline into a visual treat. And with this year’s theme being DREAM, you can expect an even more surreal and enchanting experience! But trying to see it from land will be a little tricky. Unless you’re interested in dodging selfie sticks, standing on tiptoes and hearing someone loudly explain the difference between ‘art’ and ‘just lights’. On the Clearview glass boat, though, you get terrific views of the festival lights without even leaving your seats!

The Best Way to Experience the Festival Together

A Vivid Sydney cruise isn’t just about the sights but the shared experience. The exclusivity of being on a boat together, away from the bustling city streets, allows for quality time with your partner. The cruise fosters connection in a way that no other Vivid Sydney experience can.
