Onboard Heaven — a multi-level motor catamaran with generous indoor and outdoor decks — up to 40 passengers spread out for unobstructed views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park as projection art and installations transform the city skyline.

The harbour breathes light: sails and facades flicker as the catamaran slips from Pier 2, Walsh Bay, the water daring you to look up and take it all in. Onboard Heaven — a multi-level motor catamaran with generous indoor and outdoor decks — up to 40 passengers spread out for unobstructed views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park as projection art and installations transform the city skyline.
Sydney Harbour is a drowned river valley carved at the end of the last Ice Age; tonight its natural amphitheatre becomes a stage for Vivid, a festival born in 2009 that mixes public art, light and music. The area around Walsh Bay carries an industrial past: early 20th-century finger wharves and timber sheds that now host theatres and restaurants. The experience folds modern light art into century-old maritime infrastructure and the living culture of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, whose connection to these waters predates the wharves.
Practically, the cruise runs 90 minutes and moves at an easy pace for photos and close-up looks at projections on the Opera House sails and the illuminated underside of the Harbour Bridge. Roaming canapés and a complimentary drink are included; a licensed bar is available for additional purchases. Dress in layers — evenings on the water can be markedly cooler — and arrive 15–20 minutes early at Pier 2. The vessel operates in most weather, has onboard restrooms, and is suitable for all fitness levels, with infant seats available. Expect crowding on the wharf during Vivid; patience and timing make the difference between a good view and a great one.
