Vivid Sydney 2027 will bring yet another stunning season of lights, music, ideas and food experiences to Sydney Harbour! Vivid Sydney is one of the world’s largest festivals of lights, music, ideas and food. During this festival, the harbour becomes the centre stage where iconic landmarks and waterfront precincts are lit up with large-scale projections and immersive installations.
One of the best ways to experience it all is from the water on Vivid Sydney Harbour cruises! These cruises offer a different perspective of the illuminated skyline, letting you enjoy the displays while cruising through the harbour.
From the vibrant projections on the Opera House and Harbour Bridge to the striking installations along the harbour foreshore, these cruises guarantee the best views of Vivid Lights.
In celebration of the festival, we offer a wide selection of Vivid Sydney cruises, from sightseeing Vivid Lights cruises, dining experiences and even cruises with live entertainment. Operating daily during the 3-week span of the festival, it offers one of the most comfortable ways to enjoy it!
By booking our Sydney Vivid cruises, you’ll be a part of the festivities as most of the vessels listed with us are regular participants in the ‘Vivid Light on Sydney Harbour’ installation – lighting up the boats alongside the city landmarks for a coordinated display of Vivid Lights!

Deborah G"When walking up to first outside deck, I tripped at last step (holding the champagne). Kind people and Majestic Staff MOST attentive. Ice in a towel for bruised lip. Wrist was sore where it broke my fall. Megan and husband kindly gave up their chairs for me and my husband. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. I was able to stand, talk and show nothing was broken. I enjoyed the cruise and was happy with the whole VIVID event. Will book again with Majestic Cruises. Sue Ai"
Sue A"This was a very good cruise to see the Vivid lights. As usual, it was well organised and the crew were excellent. The Captain came immediately when an elderly woman tripped up the stairs and fell right behind my seat. He attended to the incident professionally. Well done all."
