From Cruise Port: Sydney
Step aboard the beautiful Southern Swan or the magnificent Soren Larsen for the perfect ending to any day on this sublime Twilight Cruise. Experience all that the world's greatest harbour has to offer from the unique perspective of Sydney's only authentic timber tall ships. No other cruise can match the perfection of cruising Sydney Harbour beneath the billowing sails of the Southern Swan - the Flagship of the historic First Fleet Re-Enactment or aboard the graceful deck of the Soren Larsen - a beautifully crafted and maintained Brigantine that has sailed across the world from Denmark to the Arctic Greenland, through the South Pacific to Sydney.
Expect a delicious dinner, great drinks, splendid views and authentic sailing experience making this an outstanding evening for you and your guests.
A truly unique part of your experience aboard a tall ship is the moment the wind takes over and the sound of the engine fades away. Step back in time and experience what it may have been like for thousands of sailors across the ages, as they stood onboard a tall ships deck. Watch as the wind fill the sails and feel its strength carry the ship across the harbour with the beauty of Sydney at twilight spread out around you.
Two hundred years ago, a timber sailing ship was the only way to see Sydney Harbour. It still is!
A Tall Ship Cruise gives you the unique opportunity to get involved - help us hoist and set the sails or take a turn steering the ship! If you'd like to heave on a rope you can - otherwise simply sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment provided by the crew, chef and the barman - all of whom are at your service.

Will I get sea sick?
It is very unlikely. The ship is very stable and we stay inside the harbour. For dining, since we have a traditional tall ship, we do not have any tables and chairs set. You will be given plates and choose from the buffet table and then passengers can sit wherever they prefer. We also have a comfortable seating area below decks if that is preferred. The tall ships are generally stable and it is very rare that our passengers get sea sick. I would suggest that they take seasickness medication before doing the cruise if they suffer from sea sickness.
What are the age ranges for the children.
4 to 14 years old. Children under 4 years old are allowed free of charge but must be under permanent parent/carer attention. Please consider the agility of your child if they are walking as there are ropes and other obstacles on the deck. Also consider the disposition of your child - they must be able to be controlled and not impact on the enjoyment of other passengers.
Is there wheelchair access?
Unfortunately due to the steep stairs required to access facilities on board, the ship does not have wheelchair access.
Is there an onboard dress code?
No, other than we won't allow sharp heeled shoes onboard
Do you cater for special diet needs (gluten/lactose intolerant, vegetarian etc)
We can cater for vegetarian and gluten free. Please advise us when booking
Can I bring my own alcoholic drinks with me?
No. We are very strict on this policy.
