Our take
Vagabond's jazz cruise is the lunch cruise with live music. It sails for 3 hours from King Street Wharf at 12:30pm, outside Cargo Bar, with live jazz and classic pop covers, a seafood and carvery lunch, then cakes, fruit, tea and coffee. Seating is allocated and drinks are sold at the licensed bar. It rates around 4.5, and the operator has run it for over 30 years.
Check two things on our lunch cruises page before you book. The listing calls the lunch a buffet in its inclusions and a three-course set menu served to your table in its description, so ask which you will get. And it is non-refundable: the listing says plainly that it cannot wait for late arrivals, and a missed boat is not refunded or moved. Vagabond does not give a jetty number, so look for the Cargo Bar sign and arrive 15 minutes before.
Good for
- A long lunch with live music, for a celebration or a group
- Families. Prams and infant seats are fine
Think twice if
- Your plans might change. It cannot be refunded
- You want drinks in the price. Journey Beyond's lunch includes them
