Dine at sunset, twilight or under a summer glow

We like to think of our Harbour as a sunset painting in progress where the magical colours of Sydney’s iconic landscape change by the minute. The aquamarine colours of Summer give way to the warm orange hues of Autumn before deepening to a magical Winter twilight blue. Year round, sun-up or sun-down, the Sunset Dinner is a perfect venue for pre-theatre dining, family groups a place to wind down after a big day working or exploring in the city.

All options feature

  • Stunning Sydney Harbour autumn/spring sunsets, winter twilight and endless summer days
  • Live music Sat-Sun and selected special events
  • Up to 2 hours cruising of Sydney Harbour onboard our air-conditioned super-cruiser Sydney 2000 with expansive windows offering million-dollar views
  • A photographer’s and Instagrammer’s dream with spacious outdoor open leisure decks to capture the changing colours of the season and Sydney’s iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge
  • Flexible boarding – 2 departures from 5:00pm to 5:30pm with a choice of embarkation points at Circular Quay and Darling Harbour King St Wharf
