Such a fabulous experience! Every thing about this cruise exceeded our expectations, fantastic service, food and scenery. The way they ran the service with enough time to wander around in and outside the vessel between courses afforded time to meet other guests and mingle making it a truly memorable experience.

What an amazing experience. Captain Jimmy and his crew were absolutely amazing, great service and food was amazing, desert was a little rich but nice. Maybe cheese cake would of been nice. My friend had the stake and said it was cooked to perfection, I had the lamb also beautifully. Thanks guys, we will certainly be back.

Wonderful experience! The team was great always asked what we needed. The food was excellent and they catered to our dietary requirements. The only down side is guests can smoke on deck and that was very unpleasant.

An Unforgettable Experience on The Spirit of Melbourne I recently had the pleasure of dining on The Spirit of Melbourne Cruising Restaurant, and it was truly a spectacular experience from start to finish. The cruise itself was absolutely beautiful, offering stunning views of the city skyline and the iconic landmarks along the Yarra River. The atmosphere was relaxing and elegant, making it the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of superb. Each dish was expertly prepared, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that really showcased the skill of the chefs. From the starters to the dessert, every course was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. What truly made the evening exceptional was the service. The staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire evening. Their attention to detail really elevated the whole dining experience. I highly recommend The Spirit of Melbourne for anyone looking to enjoy a fine dining experience with breathtaking views. It’s the perfect blend of great food, exceptional service, and beautiful scenery. A truly unforgettable night!
