Sunset Dinner Cruise on Sydney Harbor
rhfuglaar,Apr 17, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00The sunset dinner cruise on Sydney Harbor was a cruise we will not forget. The sunset on the Sydney Harbor was beautiful. We could not have asked for better weather. But the dinner was not that great. Very Bland. Selection of entrees was slim. And the appetizer there was not much of a choice. Dessert was OK. Do not go on the dinner cruise for the food but for the sunset.
The Thomas Cook Sunset...

5.00The Thomas Cook Sunset Dinner Cruise is a well-coordinated dinner experience for its guests. Well-curated cuisines were readily served, Wines and spirits were aplenty. Personnel of various origins were very nice and efficient in delivering a common service package. But the clincher was the mesmerizing view of the Sydney sunset, filled with stunning colors. The cruise slowly crawls the span of the bay for one to enjoy the evening breeze and the bright lights of the city skylines.
Beautiful views

5.00You must see Sydney via a harbor tour. This one was great because it included a sunset dinner. We paid extra and got a window seat so I could take lots of pictures.
Great dinner cruise
