beyond conventional cruising

Often it is first a more revolutionary step rather than an evolutionary idea that distinguishes the finest cruise experience above any other.

We had a dream which grew into reality, to create cruise experiences that would change Sydney Harbour cruising. A dream that would embody the collective talents of our dedicated team. The result was the birth of Cruising Restaurants.

Our luxury Magistic catamaran is the finest on Sydney Harbour, built to an exceptional standard of nautical design and fitted with contemporary decor. Exuding total refinement with every measure taken to enhance your cruise experience, Magistic Cruises reflects a myriad of micro details. A mosaic of perfect unison to deliver an uncompromised, quality experience.

The Sydney Showboats are authentic paddlewheelers that are reminiscent of those that plied the waters of Sydney Harbour during the 1800's. Cruising Sydney Harbour since 1987, Sydney Showboats have delivered an unforgettable experience to over 3 million guests.

Following the multi-million dollar makeover, you will be impressed by the stylish interior of backlit marble, warm lighting, rich textured fabrics and dramatic lines. The Sydney Showboats are fully air conditioned, highly stable vessels that offer unsurpassed comfort and luxury.
