Enjoyable Time

Neil 24 April 2026

A lovely peaceful cruise along the Tamar and up the Cataract Gorge with knowledgeable commentary throughout. Nice morning tea, lunch and wine tasting topped it off. Crew were very courteous. One thing I would say was that the ship was not at full capacity during our trip, and I think it would be uncomfortable trying to move around if it was at full capacity.

Morning River Cruise On the Tamar River, Tasmania

rebecca 5 January 2020

I took my grandson for a cruise up the Tamar River for a Christmas holiday treat. We both had a great time, he spent time at steering the boat which was the highlight of the trip for him. I was able to mingle with other passengers from all over Australia and over the world. Morning tea was delicious with a variety of snacks and free coffee/tea through out the trip and then so local wine tasting for the adults of course. Free soft drinks for the children. All the staff made the boat trip a very enjoyable experience. Only complaint I have is my hair looks so messy, yes I did style before the trip but that is what a morning out on a cruise is about.

Relaxed and informative
