Amazing experience! All the crew were very kind. The views around the river are incredible. Good place to enjoy a date or time with the family. The food was delicious and we had free mimosas. Also, you can go outside and to the second floor to enjoy the views. I loved it!

Fantastic outing for a Sunday.. plenty of seats available if you show up.. did the Docklands 1hr cruise and the commentary (recorded) gave a good insight of the history of the city. Would have liked a bit more room in the open area as there is very little seating .. but good for a family who want to get a different view from the river.

Melbourne River Cruise is a perfect choice for a short and scenic river trip through the heart of the city. The cruise offers a relaxing ride along the Yarra River, passing by some of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks, including Federation Square, Crown Casino, and Docklands. The onboard commentary is insightful and engaging, providing interesting historical facts and stories about the city’s past and present. The staff is friendly and welcoming, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The boat is comfortable, with both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a great experience in any weather. The views of the city skyline, bridges, and waterfront precincts are fantastic for photos and videos. Overall, a must-try experience for both tourists and locals looking to see Melbourne from a different perspective! 🚢✨ Would definitely recommend! Follow us on Instagram ; this.is_melbourne

The bottomless brunch cruise was easily the highlight of our Melbourne long weekend holiday. Amazing food and the drinks kept flowing, a lot of fun was had, a beautiful day to potter down the mighty Yarra. Highly recommend to all

Very relaxing experience and covers a number of landmark bridges and gardens. We did the 2 hour cruise that went in both directions. Very conveniently located close to Flinders Street station.
