Reviews for Spirit of Melbourne Cruise
Ray Mak
To me, Melbourne is one of the most beautiful cities in Australia. Don’t get me wrong — I truly enjoy Sydney as well. But Melbourne carries a more laid-back, relaxed charm. If I were to draw a comparison, it feels somewhat like the difference between Boston and New York City — where Melbourne embodies that calmer, more understated sophistication. One attraction I highly recommend is the river cruise along the Yarra River. It’s like taking a scenic shortcut through the city, offering a unique perspective from the water. The tour guide spoke with genuine passion about Melbourne’s history and architecture, which made the experience even more engaging. On a beautiful day, the cool breeze as the cruise glides along the river is incredibly soothing. Occasionally, seagulls fly alongside the boat at the same speed, creating the illusion that they are suspended mid-air. It’s quite a magical sight — though it’s wise to stay mindful of bird droppings! From the river, Melbourne’s skyline looks stunning. The skyscrapers reflect beautifully against the water, giving the city a modern yet elegant feel. The cruise duration feels just right — not too long, not too short. I would recommend booking tickets in advance to secure your preferred time slot. It’s an experience I would gladly return for again.

What a lovely coast along Melbourne's Yarra River aboard MRC'S lovely Riverboat and a great way to discover Melbourne! The evening atmosphere was delightful as we watched the sun set over the city skyline. The four course dinner with wine was excellent in every way and served nicely by our very attentive and friendly hostesses Marie and Katie. A very relaxing and enjoyable experience in every way. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoyable boat trip but with limitations. If sit inside - viewing is restricted as no glass ceiling. However get benefit of hearing the pre-recorded commentary. If stand outside - full visibility but not possible to hear the commentary. Introducing speakers do those standing outside can hear the commentary would improve the experience. Did not use the catering. Staff very cheery and helpful.
