The river cruise was nice a pleasant the hosts and the commentary was on point. The boat was clean and neat. The skydeck was jaw dropping the 360 view of the Melbourne the city skyline. The snacks and drinks sold up there were promptly and professionally prepared and served.

I booked a ferry river cruise from Melbourne Southgate to Williamstown. I absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend if you want to soak up some sunshine and enjoy splashes of water all while travelling to Williamstown, which was amazing too! The ferrymen were welcoming and friendly as well.

It was my 50th birthday and I wanted to do something calm and relaxing and the 2 hour river cruise was exactly that!! I stood on the back deck the whole time, listening to the commentary or music that was playing, and loved every minute!! Justine

Really serene trip up the river - we had 2 hours so got to hering island and back - you'd need 3 hours to get to docklands downstream as well. Bring a towel to sit on - the black cushions get hot in the sun!
