Superb Sunset & Moonrise. Special dietary needs taken seriously and well catered for.

More and more hospitality venues and tourism operators are taking the care and the extra step to understand and ensure guests' dietary needs are taken into consideration. Having a severe food allergy (not an intolerance or lifestyle food choice) it was pleasing to be greeted by the Captain of the MV Charles Darwin who personally recognised the important of getting this right. With peace of mind, were were treated to a wonderful evening with a pearler of a sunset and a full moon rising over Darwin. Attentive staff and a relaxed setting made the experience memorable. Only one suggestion - the music was conducive to the setting but a bit on the loud side over dinner.

You must go!

A great experience on a balmy Darwin evening. The staff were exceptional, always friendly, attentive and efficient. The platters were very generous servings with many assorted delicacies, the background music was so relaxing and the sunset spectacular. A wonderful way to see Darwin on our first night there.

Value for Money- Beautiful Large Grazing Platter and Stunning Sunset Views

Got an excellent deal on ‘GetYourGuide’ so make sure you shop around for the best price. It was $104 each. Excellent value. Especially considering we had a platter each. I wasn’t expecting that at all. Even my 2 year old got his own platter and was in his element! Locally made mango ice-cream for dessert was a nice touch too. Beautiful sunset views. Only thing I would fault was that we were waiting a while to order a drink. We didn’t realise you had to wave the servers down to order. Otherwise just a minor thing and everything was great. If you’re looking for a more touristy experience with a commentary of Darwin history and buildings that you pass I’d book sail darwin. This cruise is top deck seating with no commentary. (Which as locals we enjoyed)

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, Aimee! We’re delighted to hear that you found our cruise to be excellent value, especially with the generous platters and the locally made mango ice-cream. It’s great to know that even your little one had such a wonderful time too. We appreciate your understanding and the tip about waving down our servers and appreciate this piece of feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable sunset cruise in the future!

Relaxing experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Recommend the Gaze and Graze option. Plenty of food, music and a great view on the top, open deck. Unfortunately service was sometimes slow, but I’d definitely do it again when in Darwin.
