Excellent Customer Service
My husband and I both enjoyed our river cruise. Stopping on the river to watch the firelights show was an added bonus. We would definitely do this again.

City lights cruise
It was a beautiful clear skies and Melbourne City at night is quite stunning. The boat trip was very relaxing and nice pace to take in the great views. Got to be on the top deck to see clearly which gets a bit chilly, otherwise well worth it!

City Lights of Melbourne
Thoroughly enjoyed the Golden Hour & City Lights of Melbourne Cruise with Melbourne River Cruises. Would recommend arriving slightly early to queue as getting a window seat by the open window ensured a wonderful view and fresh air as we cruised along and a great spot for photography or videos. A really lovely way to see the city lights sparkling as darkness fell. The pre recorded commentary was easily heard but the live commentary sound system not clear at times.
