  • Could have been closer to fireworks but otherwise good experience

  • We enjoyed our Showboat experience and congratulate the cast and crew. It finished off our Australia Day experience in a lovely fun way. Our waiter was attentive and even though we had been listed as not having the drink package (when we had booked it), he made no fuss after I showed him the receipt. I applaud that initiative. Even though we did not have the magician at our table, we saw him in action and he was very clever and of course entertaining. We admired the dancers and their ability to fully utilise a very small stage and we appreciated the vocal range of your singer. Thank you

  • Fantastic cruise on Australia Day, highly recommend. Food was first class as was the service and the drinks package! The dance show was sensational, highly recommend this cruise and with the fireworks on the harbour for Australia Day you would not get any better. It was the perfect way to spend the evening in Sydney!
    Kellie
  • It was great. My wife and I together with my brother in law and his wife truly enjoyed the experience. The Captain positioned the craft in the right spot to watch an spectacular firework display. The show on board was a beautiful experience and the cast second to none. Congratulations on a wonderful night on the harbour.
