About This Experience

This December, what if Sydney Harbour becomes your office's most impressive meeting room? Ho ho ho… That’s right, gather your workmates for a one-of-a-kind Christmas party on board Sydney’s most favourite catamaran, the ‘Magistic Two’. 

The Magistic Christmas Party Lunch Cruise runs across multiple dates from end-Nov up until the Christmas week in December, so there's no excuse for anyone to bail. For 1.5 hours, the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and the Sydney skyline become your view, and the only deadline is finishing dessert before the cruise wraps up. 

The day becomes more festive with the all-you-can-eat buffet featuring salads, hot main courses, and of course, the tasty dessert! And what is a party without fun? And that’s why the Xmas bonbons on the table set the playful mood! And yes, there is a licensed bar that is open and very much ready for business. And all this unfolds on the air-conditioned dining deck, so nobody's sweating in a Santa hat!

And for the Chrissy photos, head to the open outer decks and snap those gorgeous pics with the world-famous Sydney icons in the background.  

So, this cruise works just as well for small teams as it does for larger groups, with the option to hire a private deck or even the entire vessel if you want to go all in. Book now!
