Julemand Lunch Cruise på Sydney Harbour

I joined the Christmas in July Cruise with Vagabond and had such an amazing time! The buffet was delicious with plenty of great food, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was fantastic. There was such a great vibe from the moment we boarded, with live music, people dancing, and everyone having fun. It was an unforgettable night on Sydney Harbour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience. Thank you, Vagabond!

Unfortunately, this New Year’s Eve cruise was a huge disappointment. The main issue was the captain’s lack of experience. For such a special and expensive event, better planning and leadership were expected. The boat stayed too far from the fireworks area, and just minutes before midnight there was no clear position. In the end, we were placed behind a much bigger boat that blocked the entire view of the Harbour Bridge. When we finally had some visibility, the boat moved again and ruined it. The staff and food were fine, but that does not compensate for missing the fireworks after paying such a high price. I would not recommend Vagabond Cruises for New Year’s Eve events.

We did the Xmas day lunch time cruise. The food was great. The staff were very welcoming and always attentive. It was a great way to spend Xmas day. Well done Vagabond.

Last year my family didn't make it on our booked Christmas cruise due to Covid so it was credited for this year. I rang up Vagabond in early November to rebook on the Princess. They were very busy, I think short staffed so the communication was a bit long winded. I eventually received our boarding pass via email on Christmas Eve, the email said for my referenceonly no need to print it, luckily I did anyway as when we turned up on Christmas day we were told our booking had been cancelled. We were very upset but Karl was extremely professional caring and was able to sort it out and save the day. A huge thankyou to Karl and all the crew who went out of there way to really look after my family the entire day and helped make our lunch cruise an amazing experience. The food was also plentiful and delicious.

Our 1st trip from UK to Aus - prebooked this lunch in the Summer. We were concerned when looking at recent reviews about the Star that indicated a very poor rating - but needn't have worried as all was brilliant; staff (friendly and helpful), food (loads, fresh and tasty) and the boat itself may be old but was in good condition and clean. A wonderful first time cruise of the harbour with lots of excellent photo opportunities.

A wonderful way to spend Christmas lunch, very friendly service from the staff. Yummy food and the bar was well stocked for the trip.

We had the most fabulous day, staff, food, scenery, absolutely First class, the best thing to do for Christmas, would highly recommend.
