Melbourne River Cruises provide a relaxing way to see Melbourne's highlights from the Yarra—skyline, bridges, Southbank, gardens & more. Great commentary, comfy boats, friendly crew. City views are magical! Perfect for sightseeing or a special occasion cruise. Highly recommended for visitors especially for a relaxed experience... 5 stars

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.

We had a good experience on the Dinner Rivercruise last night even though it rained heavily right through the cruise. The service & food was excellent & the staff were really attentive. There wasn't anything anyone could do about the weather which meant we only travelled a limited distance during our cruise. This was due to the high river level & not being able to get under bridges. But we still had our 3 hours on the boat & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Fantastic experience with Melbourne Golden Cruise! Smooth boarding, stunning views, and a well-organised trip from start to finish. The staff were friendly and professional, making the whole journey relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely worth it – highly recommended!

Went for a one hourr cruise. The captain and his assistant were friendly. Weather was nice si had a wonderful tour which lasted an hour. You can go to the decks in both front and back of the boat to take pictures. There are some lovely views of the city from a couple of.points. You might see a seal.or two if you're lucky. Booking online in advance helps. Arrive 15 minutes early to get a seat near the window.
