IF you can’t make it to Flemington for this year’s Melbourne Cup, grab your favourite fascinator and celebrate the race that stops a nation on Sydney harbour.
Captain Cook Cruises is offering a special Melbourne Cup Lunch cruise.
Passengers can soak up the views from the open-air Star Deck aboard the Sydney 2000 before tucking into a three course premium menu.
Things heat up at 3pm when the race starts, with all the action from the track screened live in the Show Deck Race Lounge.
There are also great prizes to be won throughout the afternoon for best dressed, lucky door and sweeps.
A mobile TAB will be set up at King Street Wharf so bets can be placed before boarding.
The Melbourne Cup Lunch cruise departs at 12.00pm from Darling Harbour King Street Wharf No.1 on November 7.
Tickets $149 per person and guaranteed window seating is an additional $25 per person.
