Very spacious cruise with warm welcome and timely distribution of juices, coffee, biscuits etc. The scenic beauty of Sydney harbour captivated us. Majestic Darling harbour and Symbolic Sydney Opera House in one frame is a delight for visitors like us. As weather was moderate we enjoyed view from the deck too!

The service was very poor. We waited 35 minutes before we were offered any beverage as the cruise was only one and a half hours also on the website it was stated that all the food was made fresh on board and it definitely was not all fresh. The food was very limited with hardly any savouring food and my friend who had a nut allergy was handed one piece of cake and was not told if anything else on the platter was okay for her to eat. The girl that served just made us feel like we were an inconvenience to her. I would definitely not recommend this cruise as it wasn’t cheap and i’ve definitely been on better. I was embarrassed as it was my suggestion to go on this high tea and unfortunately we were all very disappointed.
Amazing cruise, on a stunning yacht.

This cruise with high tea was fabulous!!! The boat was a large, cruising yacht with plenty of room for everybody. They assigned you to a beautiful table near the window and start you off with glass of champagne, from there tea and coffee, sweets and treats are delivered to your table. This cruise is extremely enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend and would do it again in a minute.
Enjoyable Day cruise

Delightful trip even with the rain. We boarded the boat, they sat us at our reserved a table, brought a glass of champagne, tea pot (about 5 different tea packs were on the table) and 3-tier tray of finger foods. All delicious. You do have the option to order wines, hard liqueurs, non-alcoholic drinks, side snacks and other options while onboard for a fee. No narration of the scenery you’re passing, just light music playing in the background. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
Glorious experience! 🌸

Nice boat trip - food & drinks all good. We had bad weather which was a shame but the trip was fine - worth the cost for the views anyway.

We loved our experience on the harbor cruise!! They gave us plentiful and yummy treats! We had pretty great views with window seats. However my husband kept getting caught in the sun and was unbearably hot at least 90% of the time. So he didn’t enjoy it too much. But I love the ambience and luxury this cruise showcased
CAPTAIN COOK CRUISES DENY ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL

I've had my second issue with Captain Cook Cruises. The first time I attempted to take a cruise and was denied due to my assistance dog travelling with me. The second time, I was told CCC accepts companion cards, and was given a discount code to use for my carer. When I added the discount code, it increased the price from $267 to $315. So they charge MORE money for a disabled person to travel with a carer, than for someone to travel with a friend or family member. Ridiculous!
Nice experience.

It would have been nice if you had told a little about the sights you could see during the trip.
