We loved the food, plenty of it, served quickly by friendly staff, only one comment would be thinner slices to turkey as it made the meal very filling, but otherwise a great meal

Glenis

My fiancé and I originally booked majestic cruise for our Christmas Day lunch but received an email we would be transferred to the clear view boat cruise for Christmas Day and we are so delighted with our experience. From the moment we stepped on board we immediately felt welcomed and with it only been the 2 of us the boat felt Christmassy with lots of Christmas decorations, music and people dressed up. The food was delicious, on time and the staff could not do enough for us. We will Return 🙂

Nicola

Our Server Quillan was a true professional. Nothing was a problem and he looked after us like Kings. He is an asset to your company. Thank you again Quillan, you made our Christmas one to remember and we appreciate it immensely.

Andrew

I loved the whole experience! I love the reception given by the crew members, I love the presentation of the tables, food, drinks , every single crew member was friendly, helpful. If I would say something negative about it, I don’t enjoy the dessert, but even that I enjoy. The cruise was superb 👏👏👏

Igor

Great cruise with great attentive staff. Would have liked an option with no alcohol as out of the 4 of us 2 were not drinking and other 2 were light drinkers

Rob

This was the Christmas day lunch cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff and boat were amazing. If you're looking for a different Christmas day, then Clearview cruises offers great value for the experience they provide.

Jane

This was my second Christmas lunch and this year was even better partly because of the other singles I sat next to. I love the menu, for its variety and taste. However you might consider reducing the quaantaties, especailly on the main course. Look forward to 2026 Christmas lunch. Denis

Denis

Ken

Well organised and enjoyable Christmas Day luncheon cruise.

Sharon

We had an amazing day, from the welcome on board to the farewell at the end of the day. Loved the ease of moving around the boat, the menu and that it was not buffet style. Having the entree waiting for you when you boarded was great it meant that the whole meal service was not rushed and allowed time to actually enjoy the cruise. We would definitely recommend Clearview. Cruises to others and will return again ourselves.

Karen

We had a lovely day. My gluten free (Coeliac condition) requirements were catered for very well and we all thought the meals and service were perfect. You could see everything on the harbour from the tables inside because of the lovely large glass windows all the way around. It was the 2nd time we have cruised with you for a Christmas Day Luncheon, and it was a lovely way to celebrate Christmas. I hope we might get to do it again. I will definitely be recommending you. Thank you.

What makes a glass boat different for Christmas Day lunch?
The dining deck is wrapped in glass from floor to ceiling, so the harbour sits at eye level from every table – perfect for a day when the family is seated together and everyone gets a great view.

We have a large family group. Will some of us end up with a bad table?
No. With glass-wrapped decks every seat feels like a window seat because your views are uninterrupted. The window seats are just closer to the water’s edge than the ones in the centre aisles.

Is the boat decorated for Christmas?
It is. Decorations are up, music plays in the background and many guests dress for the occasion, so the festive cheer is all around.

It gets hot in Sydney on Christmas Day. Will we be comfortable?
The interiors are fully air-conditioned, so you can sit through the banquet in comfort and still have the harbour in full view. The open Sky Deck is there whenever anyone wants the summer sun instead.

Where is the best spot on board for our Christmas photographs?
The Sky Deck. It sits above the Mezzanine Cocktail Lounge and treats you to 360° views. This is where most guests head for photographs with the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge behind them.

Do we need to stay at the table for the whole three hours?
Not at all. Courses are served to your table, so the family sits together for the banquet, but the Sky Deck is open throughout for anyone who wants the outdoor experience.

What drink options are available for children and non-drinkers? 
Soft drinks and juices are included in the package alongside the beers, wines and sparkling, so the children and any non-drinkers at the table are catered to without having to order separately.

What is included in the Clearview Glass Boat Christmas Day Lunch Cruise?
You get a three-hour Christmas Day experience on Sydney Harbour, a festive banquet lunch and drinks. The Sky Deck and all-glass interiors give you uninterrupted harbour views throughout the cruise.

Are drinks included in this package?
Yes, your lunch package includes beers, wines, sparkling and soft drinks for the duration of the cruise.  

Does the boat really give 360° views of the harbour?
Yes, Clearview is an all-glass boat that offers 360° of Sydney Harbour from its glass-wrapped decks and open Sky Deck.  

Is the Clearview Christmas Day cruise package available on any other dates?
No, the Clearview Christmas Day cruise package is only available on 25 Dec. If you wish to celebrate Christmas on any other dates before 25 Dec, explore our Christmas party cruises.  

Does the cruise cover a large part of Sydney Harbour?
Yes. The route spans a broad section of the harbour, covering key attractions like the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Fort Denison, Luna Park and more!
