&nbsp;

Over the course of one hour, the cruise will take you on a journey showing off the foreshore installations from the perspective of the friendly crew, who are lucky enough to live and breathe Sydney Harbour every day.

&nbsp;

With this winter wonderland set to take place in May and June, Vivid Sydney is sure to light up the main precincts of Circular Quay, Darling Harbour and Barangaroo and the Sydney Skyline bigger and better than the years before!

&nbsp;

It&#39;s only for a limited time, so don&#39;t miss out &ndash; book now and save!
