Prepare for a symphony of "Oohs" and "Aahs" as our ship transforms into a dazzling RED marvel, and glides across Hobart's scenic harbour with the spectacle of the festival lights glowing as our backdrop!
Get hands-on by hauling a line, steering the ship, or simply lounging and soaking in the Tall Ship experience.
