Our take
This is the Circular Quay version of Captain Cook's lunch cruise, and we list it as an alternative on our lunch cruises page. It is the same MV Sydney 2000 lunch, with a 1.5-hour two-course option or a 3-hour three-course option and a guaranteed window seat as an add-on, but it leaves from Wharf 6 at 12:30pm. Check in at the Wharf 6 ticket office 30 minutes before. Our page notes that from 20 July to 28 August 2026 it used the Eastern Pontoon instead, so check your voucher.
The same advice applies as on the Darling Harbour sailing. Reviewers say the three-course, three-hour option runs the same 1.5-hour route twice with a stop at Circular Quay, so the two-course sailing sees the same harbour in half the time. Drinks are extra. It is wheelchair accessible. It rates around 4.3, but from only about 15 reviews, so the Darling Harbour listing's longer record is the better guide.
Good for
- Visitors staying near Circular Quay or The Rocks
- Groups with a wheelchair user
Think twice if
- The three-hour option, if the harbour matters more than the meal
- You want drinks included. Journey Beyond's lunch has them
