Australian Cruise Group proudly owns and operates three of Sydney Harbour's best-known cruise brands. Although each brand has its own identity, vessels and style of experience, they are all owned and operated by Australian Cruise Group.
Clearview Cruises specialises in premium glass boat dining, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour. Its signature experience combines contemporary dining with an elegant setting, complemented by lunch, dinner and special event cruises. The vessel can be chartered for private celebrations and corporate functions, while the Mezzanine Cocktail Lounge is ideal for hosting smaller events.
Sydney Showboats is known for its signature dinner and cabaret experience aboard an authentic paddlewheeler on Sydney Harbour. Combining a three-course dinner with live entertainment, it offers a distinctive evening of dining and performance, alongside special event cruises. The vessel is also available for private and corporate charters, with the Art Decko suited to smaller functions.
Magistic Cruises offers relaxed, versatile harbour cruising aboard a spacious, multi-level catamaran. Known for its buffet lunch cruises and sightseeing experiences, Magistic also offers dinner and special event cruises. For larger events, the entire vessel is available for private and corporate hire. The VIP Top Deck can also be reserved for smaller gatherings and private celebrations.
Australia's most memorable cruise experiences are created by passionate local operators with deep knowledge of their waterways, wildlife and destinations. That's why Australian Cruise Group partners with independently owned cruise businesses across the country, from family-run operators to established regional leaders.
Our partner network allows travellers to discover and compare a diverse range of experiences in one place, while giving local and regional operators greater visibility to audiences across Australia and around the world.
Every partner is carefully selected for the quality of their experiences, commitment to guest satisfaction and strong local reputation. Unless otherwise stated on the individual experience page, all partner cruises continue to be independently owned and operated by the businesses that deliver them.
Australian Cruise Group is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, where we own and operate our flagship cruise brands on the iconic Sydney Harbour.
Beyond Sydney, our partner network extends across Australia's most celebrated coastal and river destinations, with experiences available in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
From iconic city harbours to remote coastal escapes, our growing network reflects the breadth and diversity of Australia's cruise tourism industry.
At Australian Cruise Group, we believe memorable experiences and responsible tourism should go hand in hand.
Across our own operations, we continually look for opportunities to reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional guest experiences.
When selecting partner operators, we also value businesses that demonstrate strong commitments to responsible tourism through practices such as:
