After cruising around the Brisbane river in 2017 and 2018, Sydney's permanent floating venue, Seadeck, is once again heading north. From Friday, September 27 until Sunday, October 20, the glamorous vessel will be cruising through Brissie waters for another season of luxe parties and hangouts.
Seadeck's vessel spans 42 metres, can accommodate 410 passengers and is the epitome of handcrafted luxury — from the handmade tiles and custom-designed brass bar to the bespoke furniture from every corner of the glove, everything you see was tailored for floating. Even the palm trees, standing four metres tall, took a dozen specialists to make to the right specifications. Each of the three decks is connected by sweeping staircases and cast iron lace railings, an homage to Hollywood's golden age of the 20s, 30s and 40s. Yes, the word 'swank' should come to mind.
Seadeck's latest Brisbane visit will kick off with Friday night cruise, then hit the water on Saturdays and Sundays afterwards. Tickets, available from the Seadeck website, start from $30 on the first Friday night, then range from $50 on Saturdays and $35 on Sundays — other than the Riverfire cruise on Saturday, September 28, which starts at $125 and includes a two-hour canape package.
Of course, if you're feeling the need to blow some serious dosh while you're on the river, VIP packages are also available.
