Spend three mornings waking up to the sounds of the paddlewheels on our popular three-night Murray River Discovery cruise. Whether you're captivated by history, yearning for relaxation, or keen to see the beauty of the river with your own eyes, this cruise has it all. Onshore tours will take you to places of historical, geographical and cultural significance, such as historic Perricoota Station, St Anne's Winery and the UNESCO world heritage-listed Barmah Wetlands. We will dine under the stars with our signature riverside grand dining, complete with a river campfire and roasting of marshmallows. .

Day 1

Departing Echuca downriver, enjoy a welcome afternoon tea with freshly made Australian scones, jam & cream with tea and coffee as you begin to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river.
Time to relax or take the opportunity to chat with the Engineer and Skipper in the wheelhouse about the rich history of the river and PS Emmylou. As the sun starts to set over the river, time for an evening cocktail before your chef prepared welcome dinner. Listen to the river birds evening chorus, watch for kangaroos, wombats, egrets and many other species of birds as the stars begin to
appear. Tonight, we moor at the famous Perricoota Station. Rich in history, the property was first settled by James Maiden in 1843, and famous for starring in the TV movie “All the River Run” where
PS Emmylou was renamed PS Philadelphia.

that slept in you can join the Skipper for a guided tour of the gardens and buildings before Emmylou continues upriver towards Deep Creek Marina. Tonight, after you have enjoyed your dinner,
