Your Melbourne dinner cruise starts at Southbank Promenade on the southern side of the Yarra River. Hop aboard the Spirit of Melbourne — your fully enclosed floating restaurant — and set off up the river.
As you cruise along the Yarra, admire the lights of the city and pass by waterfront attractions like Flinders Station, Federation Square, the Royal Botanic Gardens, AAMI Park, Rod Laver Arena and Riverside Park.
Your 4-course dinner is prepared by expert chefs and matched with premium Australian wines. While you dine, enjoy attentive service and the lively yet romantic atmosphere. Choose from a variety of beverages such as beer, spirits, and red, white or sparkling wine, and end your meal with a glass of port or a liqueur.
Your unique dinner experience ends when you return to Southbank Promenade.

We were a group of 7 and were all happy with our cruise. The staff, food, service and drinks were all top class. It was great we could prebook our mains which were all cooked to perfection. Very friendly crew and the lights of the Yarra at night were pretty Spekky. Highly recommend the cruise as value for money… Jan.

My first time ever going on this experience with my husband in the weekend to celebrate our 16-year anniversary. I do have to say that the service provided by Tony on the boat was truly amazing. I wish all waiters at other restaurants provided services like Tony did in the weekend. Overall, the experience was lovely. My husband too enjoyed the food, and we had a blast! All staff on board were all wonderful and friendly. Highly Recommended!!

We were visiting from UAE and saw Melbourne the best way dining and cruising at the same time. They have Halal options which is very good. Drinks are included but its great value for money. Our Melbourne work friends also loved it they suggested we do this as this is a must do in melbourne. I'm glad I got the opportunity.

Excellent experience. The service was very good, unlimited drinks and all the time the waiters are asking if you want to have something else or filling your glass. The food is exquisite! Thank you :)

What an evening! No sooner had we sat down and our waiter Tony came along with bubbles, followed by more bubbles for those of us that wanted them. The food was exceptional and the wines offered too were perfect. Tony had the perfect mix of friendliness and professionalism and he totally contributed to our wonderful evening.
