To think Melbourne and Sydney used to be rivals. These days Sydney has everything Melbourne has, including the Melbourne Cup. Well, almost.

On Tuesday the 5 November 2019, you can celebrate the Melbourne Cup aboard a Captain Cook Cruise the MV Sydney 2000. So grab your favourite hat or fascinator, join in with a few friends and celebrate the race that stops a nation

The cruise starts with a welcome glass of sparkling wine before indulging in a three-course premium lunch menu. The sample menu is:

You can soak up the amazing 360-degree views of Sydney Harbour from the open-air Star Deck, bid for your favourite horse at the Calcutta and take part in fashions on the harbour.

At 3.00pm, experience the excitement of the race in the Show Deck Race Lounge, equipped with a large screen to broadcast all the live-action.



There are also great prizes to be won throughout the afternoon for best dressed, lucky door and sweeps.
