Overview
Sydney Showboats has redefined dining cruise experiences since 1987, when it first arrived on Sydney Harbour. The Showboat II is an authentic paddlewheeler, with a theatre-style dining saloon and cathedral windows that frame splendid harbour views. This one-of-a kind vessel exudes old world-charm and is the perfect setting for a glitzy cabaret show that takes centre stage after dinner.
A Sydney Harbour Dinner Cruise aboard the Showboat rekindles the romance of a bygone era, and it is nothing short of breathtaking. Treat yourself to an unforgettable waterfront dining experience with the legendary Opera House and the mighty Harbour Bridge in the backdrop! Guests get to enjoy a three-course seated and served dinner that is topped off with a live cabaret show, performed by a brilliant Aussie cast!
You’re welcomed on board by our glamorous showgirls and shown to the table reserved just for you. As the cruise departs, you’re treated to a prelude to the ‘Voyage of Love’ while you enjoy your entrée platter. Waitstaff will do the rounds taking your beverage orders, and your drinks of choice will be served to the table.
Before the start of the show, you can stroll the outer decks, drink in hand, taking in the Sydney skyline as well as the city’s star attractions, including the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, in all their illuminated glory. Return to the dining saloon to enjoy your main course and dessert, before the cabaret takes centre stage.
The ‘Voyage of Love’ is a changing cavalcade of dances by an Australian cast of the highest calibre. The fiery show, now in its 9th season, features dancers dressed in glitzy costumes and headdresses. Get ready to journey around the world — from the scarlet windmills of Parisian reveries, the fiery Spanish flamenco, the beguiling vibes of New York’s blues dens and more. Without a doubt, you will be transfixed in a world of synchronised choreography, mellifluous rhythms and captivating dances!
