Vivid Sydney is back bigger and brighter from 23 May to 09 June 2014 and Captain Cook Cruises is offering a variety of ferry and dining cruises so passengers can see the city come alive in a spectacular array of lights and projections across Sydney's most famous landmarks.

According to Captain Cook Cruises Head of Sales and Marketing, Richard Doyle “for the first time the harbour itself will become a canvas for brightly lit vessels that change colour as they cruise.”

“The best place to see the harbour and the full display of lights and projections on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and on landmark buildings along the harbour foreshore is from the water”. Continues Mr Doyle.

Cruises have been specially designed to complement the Vivid Light walk with over 60 interactive light installations from Sydney Cove, through The Rocks to Walsh Bay and Darling Harbour.

VIVID Light also features huge 3D digital mapping projections and lighting displays across city scrapes and landmark buildings including the Museum of Contemporary Art and Customs House.

Diners on the 5.00pm Vivid Dinner and Drinks Cruise will enjoy the spectacular moment as the Vivid lights turn on at 6.00pm, plus an open bar of Tyrrell's house sparkling or still wines, beer and soft drinks and a delicious two course meal. Disembark at Circular Quay at 6.30pm on the doorstep of the Vivid Light walk and immerse yourself in the amazing light installations.

The Vivid 5.00pm Dinner and Drinks Cruise is priced at $65.00 per person and departs nightly from Jetty 6, Circular Quay.

Enjoy the full canvas of lights over a leisurely dinner on the Vivid 7.30pm Dinner cruise, departing nightly from No. 1 King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour. The Vivid 7.30pm Dinner cruise includes a two course Contemporary Australian menu for only $79 per person.

See the lights of Vivid shine from the water and enjoy a complimentary house wine, beer or soft drink on the Vivid Lights cruise.

Priced at only $39 per person, departing at 7.15pm and disembarking at 8.30pm from Jetty 6, Circular Quay, the Vivid Lights cruise operates Friday and Saturday nights during Vivid, plus Sunday 8th June on the long weekend.
