We had a fabulous time with great seating, not packed in like sardines, and great food. The staff were so helpful. One young lady in particular went out of her way to help us with a drinks package and overall they were just so friendly. The only difficulty was the location of the wharf. Because of road closures it made if very difficult to get to. But once there it was a really lovely day. Thank you Vagabond Cruises

Our 4th cruise with Vagabond and once again, they went above and beyond to make us welcome and ensure our day was a happy one. Our cruise was on the Vagabond Star. The quality of the seafood and wonderful baked lamb and tasty chicken, plus the Aussie pavlova & lamingtons for sweets! Great position to see all the harbour activities, ferry boat race, jet fly over, 21 gun salute, dancing boats ..... great value for money with great staff. Thoroughly recommend this as a perfect Australia Day (or any day) on beautiful Sydney harbour. xx

Arriving at the wrong dock for our book cruise and discovering we were boarding the wrong boat. We frantically made arrangements to contact the captain of the of our cruise, he advised us to contact Sydney water taxis. There are fifteen in our group and we climbed onto the water taxi, captain Don contacted the captain of our cruise who guided us through all the boats on the harbour. We found our cruise and we transferred, mid harbour onto our cruise and finally time to party. We were greeted by an amazing friendly crew who immediately got us settle with a glass of champagne and showed us to our tables. The atmosphere was party,party, party, the buffet was beautifully arranged and lots of it. Would thoroughly recommend a trip on the harbour with this friendly happy crew and a special mention to Captain Karl with a beaming smile and who was extremely courteous.

This was my first cruise on the harbour to celebrate Australia Day. My friend and I had a great day. We departed on time and were welcomed by 2 x friendly staff. We took advantage of the 3rd floor deck where we spent most the time. Given the day, the boat wasn't overcrowded and we had plenty of room to move around and take in the sights. This certainly wasn't the case with other boats we could see, which appeared crowded like a night club! There were a mixture of people and age groups, but all were friendly and plesant to interact with. The buffet was as described and offered plenty of food. Staff were all helpful and pleasant, especially the man in our photo. The cruise route covered good distance and we were able to take in the plenty of sights. The 3 hours perfect. Not too quick and it didn't drag on too long. Thank you to Vagabond cruises and the staff for memorable day.
