  • Treat yourself to the finer things in life: an evening cruise along the Yarra River, yummy food, great drinks, and stunning city views.

  • The cruise offers a taste of the region's finest produce, including locally cured meats and vegetarian entrees, followed by a main course and desserts.

  • Polish the meal with beer, premium reds, whites, sparkling wines, and spirits as you tuck into a cheese platter and lip-smacking desserts.

  • Try to look away from the food and through the glass windows for stunning views of the Federation Square, waterfront precinct, Herring Island, etc.

  • Fun fact: During the Victorian gold rush in the mid-19th century, the Yarra River was a bustling waterway as thousands of people traveled upstream in search of gold.

  • As good as a bottomless brunch sounds, it's even better when it's on a 2-hour cruise of the Yarra River, with views just as delicious.

  • Tuck into an all-you-can-eat brunch featuring yummy veggie and non-vegetarian options, complete with desserts, tea and coffee.

  • If day-drinking on a cruise is your idea of a sophisticated afternoon, welcome onboard to savor premium reds, whites mimosas, and more.

  • Now that you've got gram-worthy food pics, top this up with clicks of Melbourne's cityscape and its iconic landmarks all around you as you sail.

  • Fun fact: The Yarra River, before the infamous gold rush, had water so clean and fresh, that people could drink right off the river. Yum?
