Aye, we\u2019re talking to you \u2013 the one trying to decide between two very difficult options. Do you stick to the plan to take a cruise around the bay, or do you give in to the gnawing hunger in your stomach?<\/p>\n<p>Why not do both? Yes, we said both. We\u2019ve got a lot going on here in the Emerald City and a harbour cruise is one of the best ways to see the city and grab a bite to eat.<\/p>\n<h2>Stay Classy<\/h2>\n<p>Sailing the deep blue sea isn\u2019t all rum and hard tack anymore. On the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/things-to-do\/seafood-lunch-cruise.a188991.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seafood Lunch Cruise<\/a> by Captain Cook Cruises, you\u2019ll dine on smoked salmon, mussels, and rock oysters, among other delicious seafood staples. Sip a glass of fine wine and watch the rolling waves slip beneath your boat as you take in local landmarks. If you thought the Sydney Opera House was majestic from land, just wait until you see it from the harbour.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t mind getting a little wet while you enjoy your culture, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/things-to-do\/cruise-like-a-local-with-lunch.a415192.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cruise Like a Local with Lunch<\/a>. You\u2019ll depart from famed Circular Quay, then tip your head back to watch the Harbour Bridge as your yacht passes right under it. After you explore your scenic surroundings a bit, explore the cuisine on board instead. You\u2019ll have three courses of delectable barbecue to satisfy your palate. You aren\u2019t limited to gorging yourself, of course; you can also try a little fishing or dive into the cool water of the harbour.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Musical<\/h2>\n<p>Do you know what goes well with lunch on a boat? Music. Specifically the soft, chilled-out sounds of jazz. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/things-to-do\/lunch-cruise-with-live-jazz.a257230.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lunch Cruise with Live Jazz<\/a> will show you exactly what you\u2019ve been missing. Imagine it: your boat coasting along the rippling waves as you indulge yourself in delicacies ranging from local produce to the freshest of seafood. The water in the harbour murmurs quietly to itself, but the sweet, ever-changing melodies that accompany live jazz buoy your adventure to new heights.<\/p>\n<h2>Become a Pirate<\/h2>\n<p>Gather your crew and get ready to buckle your swash \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/things-to-do\/tall-ship-lunch-cruise.a257120.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tall Ship Lunch Cruise<\/a> will take you from The Rocks straight into the latest <i>Pirates of the Caribbean <\/i>movie. Yes, this is a lunch set aboard a genuine 19th-century tall ship. You can almost hear the cannon fire as you stare out over the bowsprit. If you feel extra daring, you can even scramble over a hundred feet up the mast to see the world from a place few today can claim: the rigging of an old windjammer.<\/p>\n<p>Falling in with Anne Bonny and Long John Silver is easier than ever in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Things-To-Do-In-Sydney.d178312.Travel-Guide-Activities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydney<\/a>, and we won\u2019t make you do it on an empty stomach. There\u2019s simply no \u201carrr-gument\u201d: Getting your fill of the pirate\u2019s life along with some tasty morsels on a Sydney lunch cruise is the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A harbour cruise is one of the best ways to see Sydney and also sample some of the city&#8217;s best food.
