The harbour lights come alive as The Princess slips out of the wharf, lights glinting on the Hunter River while live music sets an easy rhythm under a night sky. Guests move between the open deck and the warm interior, plates of antipesto giving way to a full buffet and dessert as the boat traces the foreshore—Honeysuckle, the Stockton shoreline and the headland passes—each lit building and shoreline reflected in the water like a slow-moving map.
