Australia Day Dinner Cruise
The Vagabond Australia Day dinner and fireworks cruise was amazing. We ate a sumptuous dinner as we floated between the opera house and the harbour bridge. The food was delicious and plentiful. Most even went back for seconds on the seafood oysters and prawns. Then drink in hand we strolled out to the decks to watch the amazing fireworks and drone show accompanied by Australian (and some NZ) music. 3 hours of great service and entertainment. A wonderful experience for all ages.

Not so great with Vagabond Cruises
Very disappointed with Vagabond Cruises. We info them ahead of food allergies for a child and they totally ignored our request in advance for special meal! The supervisor on board was very dismissive and not very nice. So, be cat if you or your children have food allergies!
事業者からの返答
Hi David,
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We do take food allergies seriously and always aim to accommodate dietary requirements where reasonably possible. On our standard dinner cruises, this is typically done by clearly identifying allergens across our buffet selection, which includes a range of nut-free options.
Where guests have more complex or highly restrictive dietary requirements, individual meals can sometimes be arranged in advance when necessary. On this occasion, suitable options were already available from the buffet, and our crew was available to assist with identifying these.
We regret that this did not meet your expectations and appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.
Kind regards,
Vagabond Cruises

Missed Fireworks Due to Poor Captain Decisions
I do not recommend this cruise and strongly advise others not to waste their money. Our New Year’s Eve fireworks cruise with Vagabond Cruises was very disappointing due to the captain’s lack of experience. It was surprising that an inexperienced captain was assigned to such an important night.
The boat was positioned far from the Harbour Bridge and was still moving just minutes before midnight. In the final moments, it stopped behind a much larger vessel that completely blocked the fireworks. When we finally had some visibility, the boat moved again, blocking the view for guests on the second level.
Paying AUD 3,200 for four people and missing the main event of the night is unacceptable. The food and staff were good, but the captain’s poor decisions ruined the entire experience.

Australia Day dinner cruise. Was exceptional
Aus day 2025 dinner cruise was fabulous. From the ease of getting on and being seated to the end of fireworks viewing. Everything was smooth sailing. Staff were professional and very friendly. Food was GREAT. The top Shelf drinks package was such good value. 2024 I did the Vagabond lunch cruise which was also fabulous and great value. I will be doing Vagabond again.

New Year 2025 Sydney Harbour Cruise with Vagabond Spirit
New Year 2025 harbour cruise with my fiance. We live in Cairns and came to spend NY to Sydney. Harbour cruise was our one of the best experiences so far. Friendly crew, good buffet food, drinks, atmosphere relaxed. Great view to fireworks. I highly recommend.

Shame shame shame
Witnessed a very un- Australian sight today. We were waiting for our tall ship to arrive. Meanwhile, Vagabond Cruises were boarding...took them a while! They started to pull the ropes to leave the dock and we noticed a young man with cerebral palsy making his way as fast as he could to the boat. All us folks shouted for the boat to wait for him, but, did they? Nope.
Shame on you Vagabond Cruises....but, you know what, the skipper of Soren Larsen let him( Michael) on board....and, I’m sure he had a better time than he would have on Vagabond Cruises. Have I mentioned Vagabond Cruises enough???

Hi and thank you for your input. Whilst we appreciate you looking out for a young man with cerebral palsy, it seems you are terribly misinformed regarding the specifics of this unfortunate event.
The young man mentioned in your review was indeed booked on our lunch cruise and was unfortunately not at the designated boarding location on time for departure. Our crew attempted calling the man’s mobile phone on multiple occasions, however as there was no answer, we proceeded to vacate the wharf at the end of our allotted time stipulated by RMS NSW.
Upon departing, our crew noticed a young man waiting at the wharf and tried calling again to arrange pick-up. Despite no answer, our skipper waited for the Sydney Tall Ships vessel to vacate the wharf and then returned to pick up our passenger but unfortunately he was no longer there since your skipper took it upon himself to let our passenger on to his vessel.
I would like to point out that at no point were our crew aware that the man had cerebral palsy. We thank you for calling out to our crew and trying to make them aware of the situation, however this isn’t always effective over the sound of over 200 hundred people on board, music playing, boarding announcements being made and the sound of roaring engines.
We're thrilled that you enjoyed your time aboard the Soren Larsen and genuinely hope the young man did, too. I reassure you, all of our passengers also enjoyed a great day out on Sydney Harbour.
Discussions are currently underway with Sydney Tall Ships regarding the issue.
If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office on 02 9660 0388.

Great way to spend Australia Day
2019 Australia Day we boarded the Vagabond Princess for a great evening. The food was good, bar service excellent and the Cruise Director kept it happening. Only problem was boarding at the Man O War Steps, were the Opera Security service was using it as a drone airport, should not be allowed on a public wharf.

2019 Australia Day cruise
This cruise left from pontoon near the “toaster” in Sydney harbour which was very convenient close to circular quay train station - easy walking distance.
It was such a glorious day we had 17 in our group, we cruised onto Sydney harbour around all the bays within the harbour and stopped on the sidelines of the ferry race,with champagne in hand.
How fabulous to be part of the Australian day experience on the best harbour in the world with our friends enjoying an amazing lunch which included seafood and of course pavlova to complete the experience.
We Love Vagabond cruises and have been with them several times because they are so experienced in providing a great day with such friendly and engaging crew, nothing is too much trouble.
If you or family and friends want a great day out on the harbour you need to book with Vagabond Cruises and enjoy an truly amazing experience.
