Cadman Cruises | Boxing Day Lunch Cruise | All Inclusive

By Boxing Day, nobody wants to look at another leftover ham. The kitchen is still recovering from yesterday and no one is volunteering to host again.

So don't. Hand it over for three hours.

Lunch is a proper gourmet buffet: wagyu beef carvery, prawns, calamari, ricotta and spinach agnolotti, roasted chat potatoes, BBQ chicken, garden and coleslaw salads, seasonal fruit, coffee and tea. A glass of premium Australian sparkling on arrival, then beer, red and white wine, sparkling and soft drinks included for the full cruise. No cooking, no dishes, no one asking what's for lunch.

The Cadman runs three levels with an open-air rooftop, so there's shade when you want it and sun when you don't. Sydney Harbour does the rest - the Bridge, the Opera House and the eastern bays at their best on a summer afternoon.

It's also the busiest day of the year on the water. The Sydney to Hobart fleet starts at 1pm and turns for the Heads while we're out there, so you'll be among the spectator fleet watching them go, with a plate in one hand and a drink in the other. Beats standing three-deep on a headland.

EVENT INCLUSIONS

🍲 Gourmet Buffet (included in ticket price): Seasonal dishes, fresh seafood and a wagyu beef carvery. Full menu below.
