Sail into twilight aboard the magnificent James Craig, one of the world's finest restored 19th-century tall ships, for an evening that blends history, harbour beauty and the wonder of the night sky.

Hosted by astronomer Fred Watson and special guests, this sunset voyage offers a rare opportunity to experience Sydney Harbour under sail as the city lights begin to shimmer and the sky deepens from gold to indigo.

As the crew set the sails and the ship moves gracefully across the water, you'll be immersed in the atmosphere of a working heritage vessel — timber decks, towering masts and the quiet rhythm of wind and tide. Along the way, enjoy engaging conversation and stories of navigation, exploration and the celestial guides that once led mariners safely across the oceans.

An evocative celebration of maritime tradition and Dark Sky Week, this is more than a harbour cruise — it's a journey through time beneath the evening sky.

A rare opportunity to sail, dine and connect — where harbour heritage meets the wonder of the sky.
