    Waste of money
    Leticia_S, Oct 2023
    It was poorly organized. The food was horrible. No flavor whatsoever. One could not see through the windows once the sun went down. There was no narrative of where we were or attractions. This cruise would be better during daytime hours. The wait staff were professional. A complete waste of 300+ dollars.
    First of all you...
    Dwala_M, Oct 2023
    First of all you advertised a sunset cruise which is not true in September because the sunset earlier than 7 pm. Which I should have realize that when I booked it. But also, y’all should’ve adjusted the time to leave out as earlier so it would actually be a sunset cruise Second of all our food was cold, and there was no seasoning it. It was just a plain old buffet. The only thing nice about this cruise was the music and the riding around looking at all the lights in Vancouver. This cruise advertisement is really misleading and I would not take it again. When I asked the young lady about it at the bar about it being a sunset cruise she said oh well it’s just a marketing issue. So no we would not take the cruise again and I think it’s a waste of 300.00. Thanks. Dee
    Terribly disappointed. Not up to Viator standards
    Joan_H, Sep 2023
    We’ve done other Viator dinner cruises and this did not stand up to the good experiences we’ve had. People not getting boarding pass allowed to hold up line, my seat was between benches so I had no back, very uncomfortable, only ‘tour’ information was the Lions gate bridge, nothing special for birthdays or anniversaries, or discussion on where everyone was from. Very pleasant staff and food was good. This trip should start earlier with sun setting earlier! No sunset or seeing beautiful views! Not a good value for the price!
    Excellent evening
    Geoffrey_C, Sep 2023

    Pam_C, Sep 2023
    The entire experience was five stars. The boat, staff, music. Food, drinks and fellow passengers. A must do in Vancouver!
    Nice cruise!
    Chris_R, Sep 2023
    Was easy to find the harbor, staff was very helpful, great seating and really enjoyed the live music. Great views from the upper deck once the sun set and the city lights came out.
    Food and great view of Vancouver
    REBECA_P, Sep 2023
    We took the tour the first weekend in September 2023. The weather was perfect. The food is buffet style and they have lots of options. Salad bar, vegan lasagna, fruit bar and dessert. All included with your viator ticket. The only thinks you pay is drinks. The tour goes around the harbor, you see the sunset as you go and is very romantic and unique. You see how the lights turn on at the city, the amazing architecture blended with the nature of Stanley Park. I recomend 100%
    THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE!...

    Deb_P, Sep 2023
    Pleasantly surprised on how good the dinner was. Crew was attentive and very efficient. The musicians were very entertaining.
    The weather and sunset makes the experience
    Emma_J, Sep 2023
    Great evening. The boat was spacious. Tables of 2 were actually tables of 6 with an empty table between, really enjoyed this as we shared with a local first nations couple who shared their history. The food was buffet style with a good choice and plenty available. Good quality and enjoyable. Great views of the harbour and a spectacular sunset.
    Okay time
    Candice_F, Aug 2023
    Good food. Amicable staff, very helpful. Lovely to see the lights around the harbor. Nice, pleasant time
    Expectation from video on website of Harbour Dinner Cruise could not be met
    Olaf_P, Aug 2023
    From the website of Harbour Dinner Cruise we expected to be on the wheelsteamer but it turned out to me a normal tourist ship with large groups.. Food was typical tourist food served at too low temperature. Servants did a good job. The video from the tour on the wheelsteamer gave impression of a more intimate atmosphere. I still average the tour because the sightseeing of Vancouver harbour was magnificant and we enjoyed Vancouver by night with all the lights.
    Good
    Marie_B, Aug 2023
    It was a lovely idea, the food was a buffet which I have never done before.. but good was nice. No drinks were included which was a bit odd but they wasnt to expensive. There was a party of young people on board which made the experience noisy which was a shame. Has we known we would have booked another time
    Sunset Harbour Cruise
    Marianne_H, Aug 2023
    Their was no commentary of what we were seeing.. it was a nice meal but the same as the afternoon Indian Arm boat tour.. which was much better.. entertainment was very mediocre.

    Dinner was delicious. On board live music was entertaining. Water was calm and the harbour was lit up and Canada Place was full of colour. A must see when visiting Vancouver.
