Enjoy the atmosphere of Vivid festival on a 2hr private cruise onboard MV Bel for up to 6 guests.

From 23 May to 14 June 2025, one of Sydney's most loved festivals will bring brilliant light installations and projections, live music, fantastic food and a buzzing energy to the city.


Ahead of the evening light shows at 6pm, relax on this exclusive cruise and indulge in the Vivid atmosphere radiating throughout Sydney Harbour. Take in the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and stunning cityscape while sipping on sparkling wine and watching the sky transform into a spectacle of colour.


From the comfort of our stunning cruiser, the MV Bel is undeniably one of the most incredible ways to experience the sunset ahead of Vivid festivities. Our Superyacht Captain will look after you from start to finish, whether you want to cruise intimately with your loved one, or enjoy the stunning sunset with your family or friends.
