Anyone looking for an unusual way to spend an afternoon in Sydney might want to see the harbour on an Elvis Tribute lunch cruise.

While Elvis Presley and his music may not instantly be synonymous with Sydney, there's no reason that fans can't enjoy some of the King's greatest hits while staying in the capital.

On April 11th, fans of one of music's greatest stars can enjoy a tribute act while sailing around the stunning Sydney Harbour.

It could be a great way for anyone staying in accommodation in Sydney to see some of the city's sights with a little light entertainment along with way.

Rhythmboat Cruises are offering the three-and-a-half-hour-trip, which includes a buffet lunch and a "sensational" Elvis Tribute show.

The boat will cast off at 12:00 (local time) from Pyrmont Wharf in Darling Harbour, with guests able to board from 11:30. Tickets cost AU$69 (£42.34), with concessionary rates available.

Elvis recorded hundreds of songs during his career, including the likes of Hound Dog, Suspicious Minds and Jailhouse Rock, some of which will no doubt have everyone on the boat up and dancing.

Once you've seen the harbour and its landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the water, you might decide that you want to get a different perspective.

Anyone who is not scared of heights could find the climb to the top of the Harbour Bridge exhilarating, or if that is too much effort, a trip in a seaplane could be the best way to see the sights of Sydney from the air.
