Relaxing & Delicious - My wife took me on the lunchtime cruise and it was fantastic! The food, drink and the service was impeccable and what a wonderful way to relax for a couple of hours! If you remember Melbournes great Tram Car restaurant this trip along the Yarra rivalled it - and I can give no higher praise than that! Well worth it - a real gem!

Nice evening - Dinner and the dinner service were very good. I think we expected a little narration about what we were seeing along the river. Without the explanation of what we were seeing we could have had a lovely dinner at any of the restaurants along the water.

Good food, disappointing cruise. - The dinner was awesome, but the cruise was very disappointing. I had expected to see some sights of Melbourne, with narrative. However, this boat went back and for between 2 bridges for 2 1/2 hours.
