About This Experience

The Magistic Sightseeing Three-Course Lunch Cruise is a 2-hour Sydney Harbour dining experience aboard the multi-million-dollar ‘Magistic Two’, departing King Street Wharf. Settle in for a freshly prepared three-course meal served at your table, with a choice of oven-roasted chicken or grilled salmon for the main course, while Sydney’s iconic harbour landmarks provide the backdrop. Enjoy uninterrupted harbour views through the panoramic windows or from the three open-air decks, with commentary adding context as you cruise. 

The Sightseeing & Seated Lunch Experience
There’s something special about sitting down to a proper three-course lunch while Sydney Harbour unfolds around you. Once aboard the ‘Magistic Two’, take your seat and let the meal progress at an easy pace, starting with a Caesar salad, followed by your choice of oven-roasted chicken or grilled salmon, and finishing with the chef’s dessert of the day.

Between courses, you can step outside for a closer look at the harbour, or stay comfortably seated by the panoramic windows and watch the foreshore pass by. The cruise takes you past Sydney highlights including the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Fort Denison and Luna Park, with onboard commentary adding stories and context along the way.

Unlike a buffet experience, this cruise gives you a more formal dining experience, with each course served to your table as you take in the changing harbour views. 

Who Is This Experience Ideal For
This cruise is ideal for couples, visitors and small groups who prefer a more relaxed, seated dining experience over a buffet, where the food is paced across three courses and the harbour provides the scenery.

If you enjoy table service, a leisurely meal and uninterrupted Sydney Harbour views, this is the Magistic lunch experience to choose.
