What exactly is Vivid Sydney

Popularly known as Australia’s best tourism event, Vivid Sydney is an annual month-long festival of art, light, music, and ideas managed by the NSW Government. It attracts over a million people and contributes a major share to the state’s economy. It has also been recognised by the International Festivals & Events Association. The light artists, musicians and creative minds in and around Australia and the world aim to transform Sydney into a canvas of art and transform it into a wonderland, an epitome of creativity, innovation, and technology. You can enjoy the best of Vivid light installations on Sydney’s most iconic architectural structures and evocative musical performances with live shows in various points of interest. But it is not only about the installations and music but also interactive activities, public talks and debates to exchange ideas, come up with creative solutions and inspire the future.

Even though this year’s Vivid Light Festival catalogue is not released yet, the city streets will come alive from 27 May to 18 June. We, as the premium cruise operator in Sydney Harbour, welcome you to this breathtaking destination. We have the finest vessels offering sought-after Vivid Sydney cruises to witness the prime views of the iconic architectural marvels in artistic lighting displays.
