Festivals and Celebrations

24 May 2026 to 10 Jun 2026 Daily Event

Skip the ferry queues and experience Vivid Sydney from a new perspective with a harbour cruise departing Manly. Step aboard a Captain Cook Cruises twin-deck catamaran ferry as the city comes alive with light, colour and creativity – part of a memorable Vivid Sydney cruise experience, including the spectacular 7:30 pm Vivid Sydney Drone Show “Star-Bound”.

Cruise through the Vivid Lights precincts of The Rocks and Circular Quay, passing dazzling harbour installations with views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline illuminated in brilliant colour.

Then watch the sky transform as the Vivid Sydney Drone Show takes centre stage at 7:30 pm, with 1,000 drones creating mesmerising shapes above the Harbour.

More than just a ferry, it’s a complete Vivid Sydney Lights and Drone Show cruise experience before returning to Manly.
