Vivid Cruise Deals
Vivid Sydney is a stunning reflection and reminder to us of the beauty that is Sydney.
The annual light, music and ideas festival switches on as the weather cools over May and June and is nothing short of aesthetically spectacular. Not to mention the influx of people to the city centre, spike in tourism domestically and internationally, with over 2 million people attending Vivid in 2016, and the profit generated for local small businesses – Vivid Sydney is a fantastic initiative that’s in its 9th iteration this year.
Recently I had the chance to check out some of the fantastic interactive installations and they have all been outstanding. I particularly love the fountains in Darling Harbour and all the boats and ferries being lit up in the evening. It is mesmerising watching the lights on the boats float across the Harbour and as we all know, the best way to see the Vivid Sydney lights is by Harbour cruise…
So… here are my top 5 recommendations to enjoy the sights of Vivid while cruising Sydney Harbour:
