For one of the most comprehensive cruises of the Yarra River in Melbourne, this option incorporates all the major highlights of the city's waterfront sights and landmarks into a single great cruise package! Relax aboard the large, comfortable cruising vessel, soaking up the informative commentary while gliding past all of Melbourne's essential river attractions including Southgate, The Victorian Arts Centre, historical Docklands, river gardens, shipping port, Sporting Precinct and panoramic city skyline.
This 2-hour cruise departs every morning at 11:00am and makes for an outstanding way to see the best of Victoria's capital from one of the unique vantage points available - the water. Be sure to bring your camera along for the cruise as the Yarra River offers views of Melbourne's essentials that those walking or driving typically don't get to see; simply a great morning out in Melbourne!
