Great way to spend Australia Day - 2019 Australia Day we boarded the Vagabond Princess for a great evening. The food was good, bar service excellent and the Cruise Director kept it happening. Only problem was boarding at the Man O War Steps, were the Opera Security service was using it as a drone airport, should not be allowed on a public wharf.

2019 Australia Day cruise - This cruise left from pontoon near the “toaster” in Sydney harbour which was very convenient close to circular quay train station - easy walking distance. It was such a glorious day we had 17 in our group, we cruised onto Sydney harbour around all the bays within the harbour and stopped on the sidelines of the ferry race,with champagne in hand. How fabulous to be part of the Australian day experience on the best harbour in the world with our friends enjoying an amazing lunch which included seafood and of course pavlova to complete the experience. We Love Vagabond cruises and have been with them several times because they are so experienced in providing a great day with such friendly and engaging crew, nothing is too much trouble. If you or family and friends want a great day out on the harbour you need to book with Vagabond Cruises and enjoy an truly amazing experience.

Australia Day in Sydney - The dinner cruise and fireworks were a great way to celebrate Australia Day. There was originally some concern as the boat was late in arriving for the pick up. The Opera House security let us know the wharf was essentially closed and the lateness of the boat was of great concern to them, as safety was an issue, and there was the threat that we would not be allowed to embark due to the tardiness of the boat. But the boat DID arrive and Opera House security did allow us to board. The cruise was LOVELY. Food was delicious and we really enjoyed those that were assigned to our table - very interactive and pleasant to spend an evening with. The fireworks were spectacular and seeing them from the water was such a treat!!!! One of the best evenings EVER. The only reason I deducted A star was the tardiness of the boat. There was no representative of the boat at the wharf to answer questions or inform the guests of the delay and that would have been very helpful

Shame shame shame - Witnessed a very un- Australian sight today. We were waiting for our tall ship to arrive. Meanwhile, Vagabond Cruises were boarding...took them a while! They started to pull the ropes to leave the dock and we noticed a young man with cerebral palsy making his way as fast as he could to the boat. All us folks shouted for the boat to wait for him, but, did they? Nope. Shame on you Vagabond Cruises....but, you know what, the skipper of Soren Larsen let him( Michael) on board....and, I’m sure he had a better time than he would have on Vagabond Cruises. Have I mentioned Vagabond Cruises enough???
