Stroll down to the departure pontoon for your scheduled
cruise and one of our experienced gondoliers will
be there to greet and help you into the boat.
Based on Venetian boat plans and built in Melbourne,
our gondolas are a luxurious way to cruise the river.
When you step into the boat a bottle of quality
champagne will be ready on ice. You can now
just relax back with a glass of champagne and take
in the sights and sounds of Melbourne's Yarra river.
Your gondolier will row the boat for you from a
separate section at the rear of the boat.

through the city section of Melbourne's Yarra river.
You'll glide past all the main attractions -
the Exhibition Centre, Aquarium, Southbank and Crown

At the completion of your cruise you'll be taken
back to the pontoon and our gondolier will help
