Testimonials
So much fun experiencing a "winter" Christmas in my home away from home. The band was great as was the food. Big thank you to the crew for their warm hospitality. Will definitely be back!
Was invited to join the Xmas in July cruise for a work function and we honestly had a blast! Great value with a full Christmas buffet, live music and open bar. The crew were all so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a worthwhile event!
It was like Christmas all over again! Yummy turkey roast and warm pudding with custard. The music really made the atmosphere and the harbour views are always a win. Thanks guys!
