My granddaughter had a voucher she wished to utilise on a Yarra cruise. The cruise was well patronised and the driver's commentary was excellent. The voucher was not recognised in the on line booking system and neither was my senior's card so that was costly and disappointing. Having promised this holiday treat, I delivered and enjoyed our outing together.

HI sorry the page wont allow me to go back to the previous page but it was only three options the highest i ticked. My family was very pleased with our experience especially me who is not good doing things online but it hassled free from when to get our tickets till the last minute. I have already recommended headout to my family and my friends. My family enjoyed my son's 21st birthday celebrations. thanks very much for making my son's birthday celebration ran smoothly. Will be back. Good bless

Organised with punctual embarkation. No warm customer service from check in station when verifying tickets....Guide on board knowledgeable but speaking too fast even for American visitors.

We had to wait for a private party to clear the berth, and there was little information offered, we worked out from looking, crew were awesome, but hospitality could have easily been upsold. Guide was awesome Jimmy G. Would do again.
