Vivid Sydney, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest light, music and ideas festival, transforms Sydney Harbour into a dazzling spectacle every year. This year, the festival is from 24 May 2024 to 15 June 2024. Keep reading as we are offering you a chance for three families to win a family pass to view Vivid Sydney from the comfort of a Captain Cook Cruise.
But with its popularity comes crowds. This year, ditch the packed trains and traffic jams and set sail for a unique and unforgettable Vivid experience with Captain Cook Cruises, departing conveniently from Hunters Hill and Northwood wharves.
Tranquil Escape, Front-Row Seats
Imagine this: you glide across the illuminated harbour, the cool breeze carrying the murmurs of the city instead of the roar of the crowds. On a Captain Cook Vivid Cruise departing from Hunters Hill or Northwood, you’ll enjoy a tranquil escape from the city bustle while still experiencing the magic of Vivid. These smaller wharfs mean less congestion and a smoother start to your evening, allowing you to truly relax and soak in the sights.
Panoramic Views, Dazzling Light Displays
Captain Cook’s vessels offer unobstructed panoramic views of the harbour, placing you front and centre for the stunning Vivid light displays. You’ll have ample space to move around the deck, taking in the iconic sights like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge bathed in vibrant colors and artistic illuminations. These prime vantage points ensure you won’t miss a single detail of the festival’s brilliance.
Skip the Hassle, Embrace the Comfort
Forget expensive parking, lengthy commutes, and battling the crowds. A Captain Cook Vivid Cruise from Hunters Hill or Northwood offers a convenient and comfortable alternative. Park your car for free at the wharf (limited spaces available), board the cruise with ease, and settle in for a magical evening on the water.
