Boxing Day Cruise Boxing Day Lunch Cruise

Spend Boxing Day where Sydney is at its best: on the water. Step aboard Luna, Sydney's only wood-fire pizza boat, for three hours of food, drinks and harbour views. No sit-down lunch and no buffet queue — wood-fire pizza comes to you as roaming slices, hot from the oven on board, while you move around the boat and watch the harbour come alive. Meet at Campbells Cove Wharf, next to Oriana Sydney, between 10:45am and 11am on Saturday 26 December 2026.

The day

How the day runs

Saturday 26 December 2026: meet at Campbells Cove Wharf (next to Oriana Sydney) between 10:45am and 11am. Boarding is at 11am, with departure at 11:10am sharp. Boxing Day is one of the busiest days around Sydney Harbour, so allow plenty of time — Luna cannot wait for late arrivals.

The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is scheduled to start at 1pm while we're on the harbour. Luna joins the general spectator fleet to take in the atmosphere from the spectator area, outside the race exclusion zone, as the yachts head for Sydney Heads. Return to Campbells Cove Wharf is at 2pm.
