Terrible!!! Terrible!!! Terrible!! Waste of money

Amanda 27 May 2026

My son tried to cancel as his partner was extremely sick. No answer, no reply. Finally got onto them after days and they were rude and basically said bad luck. A lot of money down the drain. A very bad experience. Would not recommend at all

Customer Experience

Hi Amanda, We’re very sorry to hear about your Son's experience and understand how upsetting this situation would have been. This supplier has a cancellation policy outlined on the website which requires at least 7 days’ notice for any cancellations. Unfortunately this request fell within that period so the booking was unable to be cancelled. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that your Son could not attend. We hope his partner is doing much better.

A great night out

Julie 13 May 2026

The sunset was beautiful, especially since we had rain early in the day and worried that it might be too cloudy. The food and drinks were excellent, and we ended the evening with dancing to some well-known tunes. Highly recommend this cruise.

Sensational Sunset River Cruise

Norm 22 January 2026

From the moment that we boarded, the crew and staff were incredible. They were all friendly, attentive and professional. It was a beautiful summer evening, albeit a little windy but the conditions did not impinge on the stability of the vessel. We have been on similar adventures around the world, and we both agree that this is a standout experience. We arranged for a vegan meal and the chef prepared a truly delicious meal and dessert. Honestly, my wife usually misses out with being offered great food, but on this occassion; she was highly suprised. The ever changing vista of the Yarra River provides an opportunity to see Melbourne at it's best and most interesting. The lovely docklands area with high end boats, watching locals fish from the waters edge, the interesting dock yard activities, Williamstown and the views across the bay that looked like Surfers Paradise. The DJ provided a great selection of music and the dance floor was packed with happy passengers. We highly recommend this experience. If you a visitor to our beautiful city or are fortunate enough to live in Melbourne/Victoria this is a sensational opportunity to see some great highlights.
