About Sydney Harbour Top Deck 3 Course Lunch Cruise
Cruise Sydney Harbour aboard the iconic MV Sydney 2000 while savouring a three-course lunch of contemporary Australian cuisine. Enjoy panoramic views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the open upper deck, all with attentive service that makes this the ultimate lunchtime experience in Sydney.
Local Legends & Stories
Sydney Harbour has been the lifeblood of the city since European settlement, and the MV Sydney 2000 continues a long ferry tradition that connects Sydney's iconic suburbs. The Opera House's sails were once criticised as impractical but are now recognised as one of the world's great architectural feats, perfectly framed on this cruise.
Must Do Experiences
-
Dine on a contemporary a la carte menu featuring local favourites like salmon and beef sirloin fillet while cruising past Sydney's most iconic landmarks. Step onto the sunlit upper deck for unobstructed photo opportunities of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Relax with attentive service as you glide through the harbour's scenic waterways.
Hidden Gems
-
The upper deck offers the best photo angles just after departure when the crowd thins out and light hits the Opera House facade. Ask your server about the daily catch options that sometimes appear on the menu, showcasing Sydney's fresh seafood. The stern of the boat provides a stunning rear view of the Harbour Bridge as you return to Circular Quay.
What Makes it Special
-
The MV Sydney 2000 is Sydney's flagship harbour cruise vessel, combining heritage charm with modern comfort. The three-course lunch menu is crafted by local chefs using fresh Australian ingredients, elevating a standard sightseeing cruise into a culinary experience. The open-air upper deck gives you 360-degree views without the confines of an enclosed restaurant.
Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
Weekday lunch cruises are less crowded and offer a more relaxed dining experience. Late afternoon departures (around 3-4 PM) provide golden hour lighting for photographs and cooler temperatures on the upper deck. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather for open-deck cruising.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Position yourself on the starboard side upper deck shortly after departure for the best view of the Opera House with the Harbour Bridge in frame. The hour before sunset offers the most dramatic lighting for harbour photography. Flash is not permitted inside the dining area, but natural light on the upper deck is ideal for portraits.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
Australians appreciate a friendly but respectful approach; a simple 'good day' or 'thanks' goes a long way. Tipping is not obligatory but rounding up the bill or leaving 10% for exceptional service is appreciated. The dress code is smart casual—neat and presentable, but not formal.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
During Vivid Sydney (May-June), some cruises feature special lighting views and themed menus. Summer holiday periods often include family-friendly pricing and extended departure times. Check for occasional partnerships with local wineries or chefs for limited tasting menu upgrades.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Hold onto railings when moving on the upper deck, especially if the boat is experiencing mild movement. Keep beverages and small items secure to prevent spills or loss overboard. If you're prone to seasickness, take appropriate medication before boarding and stay in shaded areas on the upper deck.
Visitor Information
Entry Fee
Tickets are priced per adult with discounted rates for children and seniors. Combo deals are available when booking with other Sydney attractions like the Harbour Bridge Climb or SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. Group rates and advance purchase discounts are offered.
Visit Duration
The cruise lasts approximately 2 hours including boarding and dining. If short on time, prioritise the upper deck views during the first 30 minutes and the main course while the boat is near the Opera House for the most memorable highlights.
Accessibility
The MV Sydney 2000 is wheelchair accessible with elevator access to the upper deck. Please notify the cruise line in advance of any mobility requirements so staff can arrange assistance and seating. Companion tickets and assistance animals are welcome.
