About the venue

The Yarra Princess is one of the many boats on offer by Melbourne River Cruises, many of which would be a familiar sight upon the Yarra River, trundling past Southbank and around past the Botanic Gardens.Combining sightseeing (even in your home city) with truly unique setting, they’re immensely popular function venues.

The Princess especially, is a good pick for private events.All of vessels that make up Melbourne River Cruises are fully enclosed, each with their own viewing deck, onboard amenities, and an always-eager-to-help crew. The cruises themselves make their way past the iconic panoramic view that is Melbourne; from the twinkling skyline at night, to bustling Southbank, from the Botanic Gardens to the Docklands, and even further afield to Williamstown.

The Yarra Princess is somewhat smaller than the Yarra Countess, with a maximum capacity of up to 90 guests standing in a cocktail setting, or 52 seated for a dinner event (or similar). Still, that’s a fair amount of room - think along the lines of milestone birthday or anniversary celebrations, or office Christmas parties.Find Melbourne River Cruises at Federation Wharf below Federation Square, or at Southgate, Berth 5 Lower Promenade.

This is the “must “, the only one thing that one must do in Melbourne! As the trip is amazing! Wonderful! Great! But I can’t say the same things about “ the cruise 🚢 “. It’s old, not so comfortable, a very small place outside for people that want to see the beautiful views of the city, many seats inside- but if you stay inside, why are doing this trip? I recommend to change the boats!

Taking cruises sightseeing on the river is a popular tourist activity in many cities. There are also many such projects on the Yarra River in Melbourne. It feels great to patrol the scenery along the wide river on both sides.

What a fantastic way to see some of the sights in Melbourne, the cruise was so much fun! Staff are friendly, hospitable, complimentary refreshments onboard and a nice little bar add to the whole experience. The views of the whole city in summer were great and the information on each spot were fun as well! Be advised, go to back of the boat as indoors you won’t see that much. So step out, enjoy beautiful Melbourne and support local businesses😊
