Our take
This is the show cruise on our dinner cruises page: dinner and a cabaret on Sydney's only paddle-wheeler, running since 1987. You board at 7pm at King Street Wharf 5 in Darling Harbour, sail at 7:30pm and return at 10pm, with dancers greeting you and a cabaret show performed only on this boat. On selected Saturdays the 9pm Darling Harbour fireworks fall during the sailing.
It is a night out more than a quiet dinner, and our page suggests it for celebrations. Dinner is included; drinks are sold on board. Our page said tea and coffee were included, but the current listing marks them as extra. The boat is not wheelchair accessible. It rates around 4.3 from a small number of reviews, and it is a big boat, so expect a crowd. Arrive 15 minutes before boarding.
Good for
- A celebration with a show
- Groups who want entertainment with dinner
Think twice if
- You want a quiet dinner and conversation
- You need wheelchair access
