Spirit of Melbourne Dinner Cruise
If you’ve already explored Melbourne on foot, see the city from a different perspective on an evening dinner cruise—a great way to avoid the daytime heat and see Melbourne illuminated by night.

Review of: Highlights of Melbourne Cruise
The Melbourne River Cruise was simply fun and adventure for two hours. Enjoying the beauty of Melbourne city from Yarra River was a unique thrill. Throughout the Gardens, Docklands, Southbank and Port along the water was a life experience than just sightseeing.

Review of: Spirit of Melbourne Dinner Cruise
I booked the mothers day lunch cruise for my mom and it was the best mothers day that she has ever had!!! Everything was lovely, the staff was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and the drinks kept flowing! They had decorated it beautifully and had soft music playing in the background. The cruise was so relaxing and the views of yarra paired perfectly with it. I highly recommend this for a lunch or dinner cruise that you can do! its a great experience and better than going to a restaurant.…

Review of: Spirit of Melbourne Dinner Cruise
What a fabulous night! Staff were very friendly, jovial and very attentive. The 4-course dinner was delicious (we had beef and salmon for mains) and the entree grazing tray, and dessert shared tasting plate per 2 people, were great ideas - all very tasty. We were a party of 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Drinks were plentiful all night and we were able to sit inside on the lower deck at nicely presented tables, or go upstairs and enjoy the river views and city skyline. Restrooms were clean. We would certainly take this trip again - it was one of the highlights of our city stay.…
