Darwin Harbour Sunset Dinner Cruise aboard a 3-Deck Catamaran

Darwin's harbour sunsets are legendary — vivid oranges, pinks and purples igniting one of the world's most dramatic tropical skies. Toast them from the deck of a luxury catamaran with a buffet dinner and live entertainment.

What to expect

Step aboard the spacious three-deck catamaran at Stokes Hill Wharf — a short stroll from the cruise terminal — and secure a prime position on the open upper deck as the vessel glides into the harbour. As the sun melts into the Timor Sea in an explosion of colour, waitstaff bring around Territory-inspired canapés before the buffet is declared open. Fresh barramundi, tropical salads and Northern Territory specialities feature prominently. Live music sets the mood as darkness falls and the city lights reflect across the glassy water.

Good to know

Departures are typically at 6:30 pm — verify your ship's all-aboard time before booking, as this works best on late all-aboard nights. Boarding is at Stokes Hill Wharf, a 5–10 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Book in advance, especially during peak season (May–October). Smart-casual dress recommended.
