'Tis the season to be jolly! Relive the joy of Christmas in winter
on our cozy Sydney Harbour lunch cruise with live jazz & carols!
Tinsel, missletoe, carols and the unmistakable aroma of warm Christmas pudding and custard in... Winter?? Sounds heavenly!
Come aboard and sway to the rhythms of live Christmas carols, jazz and pop covers as you indulge in a delicious seafood and carvery lunch followed by warm Christmas pudding with custard, fresh seasonal fruit, coffee and tea. Enjoy a glass of bubbly from the bar and let time pass you by as you embrace the spectacular harbour views!
This luncheon cruise has been a Sydney favourite with locals and tourists alike for over 30 years, combining restaurant style dining and unforgettable views. A great way to spend an afternoon with friends and family, entertain overseas guests or celebrate a special occasion. This is undoubtedly Sydney's best value lunch cruise.

Food and views were amazing !! This cruise is falsely advertised - minimal Christmas decorations plus Christmas carols - it should be marketed as a normal cruise NOT Christmas. Lots of disappointed people on board. Would recommend it for a lunch cruise but if you are wanting a Christmas in July event - this is not it !

The food was terrible. They ran out of plates, and cutlery and people were using their fingers. It wasn’t very christmasy…. The singer was often just singing regular boring old songs. There wasn’t even a christmas cracker per guest. Staff were young and ill experienced. It was a waste of money.

A group of friends enjoyed a magnificent day cruising Sydney Harbour on a luncheon cruise. The boat was tastefully decorated with a Christmas theme. The food was delicious including seafood and the entertainment was great although not in a Christmas theme which was a shame! But enjoyable nonetheless.

This was a fantastic lunch cruise on a winter's day. There was an abundance of food; the staff were a delight. The entertainment was good but not enough Christmas songs for a Christmas Cruise.

Hi there
I have been on two cruises with Vagabond, one was the Latino cruise and on Saturday 28th July I was on the Christmas in July cruise.
I want to say that Vagabond Cruises are excellent, very good food, plenty to eat and drink very reasonable and the desert (Christmas pudding) and fruit was very tasty. There was no shortage of food at all. I also want to say that Darwyn Jolly from the office is very helpful and does everything for you from start to end. He helped us with everything from the time we booked and offered us the best of the cruises. The Latino cruise was also superb. All in all I will always choose Vagabond Cruise. The staff on board were also very helpful and gave us a lot of attention.
Thank you Vagabond

We just did the xmas in July boat cruise. The boat was very old and shabby - it was the Vagabond Princess. The worst part was that the whole trip the smoky diesel engine fumes kept coming into the boat even with windows closed. The boat wasn't very full and there was no atmosphere. The food was surprisingly good but couldn't enjoy it because of the fumes. This boat needs to go to the scrapyard.
