Allen Gardiner Harbour Cruise Restaurant

Welcome to the Allen Gardiner Harbour Cruise Restaurant offering Brunch, Lunch, Dinner & Champagne Sunset Cruises within Durban Harbour in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

Sailing year round, the Allen Gardiner Harbour Cruise Restaurant is designed to provide a different and exciting fine-dining experience. The vessel cruises the calm waters of Durban Harbour during which freshly-prepared fine foods are served... Although the harbour is the busiest port in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 20 ocean-going ship movements per day, it is also a place of hidden treasures such as mangrove swamps and abundant wildlife (including pelicans) in a protected conservation habitat.
