About This Experience

Onboard the Clearview, luxury is defined by its elegant glass design, the ever-changing harbour backdrop and its premium dining experience.

As the cruise departs from King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour, the city lights come on and the iconic landmarks appear one by one — the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, the busy lights of Circular Quay and the quieter shoreline of the North Shore before circling back to see Luna Park on the other side. The vessel is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, which makes the harbour visible from every table. There’s no need to get to ‘the good side’; the whole boat is the good side.

Dinner unfolds gradually, at a comfortable pace. A four-course plated menu is served to your table, prepared fresh on board and matched to the relaxed rhythm of the evening. The service is attentive without interrupting your conversations, with the ambience and the views doing most of the talking. Drinks are available for purchase; You can upgrade to the drinks package while booking, or buy your preferred drinks from the bar on board.

Between courses, you can explore the Sky Deck. This is where the harbour really opens up — open air, night breeze and sweeping views that stretch past Barangaroo to Darling Harbour on one side and out toward the Heads on the other. It’s perfect for photos, but it’s also simply peaceful to stand there and watch the city lights move across the water.

By the time dessert is served, the harbour is fully illuminated. Ferries stream by in glowing trails, the Harbour Bridge sits boldly against the night sky, and the Opera House seems almost close enough to touch.

Julie Allen, a recent guest, shared: “Clearview fulfilled all my expectations. The meal, the service, the boat, everything was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

This Clearview experience suits couples, small groups and travellers alike – anyone who wants a dinner that feels like an occasion. Are you ready to try it out?

* This cruise is only available on Saturdays, and during the Vivid Sydney festival and Christmas party season.
