PS Murray Princess Cruises

Discover the Murray River

There’s no better way to see the Murray River and a slice of the hauntingly beautiful and dramatic Australian Outback than on the PS Murray Princess.

Experience the unique flora and fauna, the rich legacy of old riverside ports and indigenous culture close up, while you drift unhurried and quietly aboard the PS Murray Princess - a modern replica of the paddle wheelers that cruised the Murray in the 1800’s.

The two spacious paddlewheel lounges feature polished wood and gold trimmings, an elegant spiral staircase and spectacular two-story glass windows offer views of the working paddle wheel.

Captain Cook Cruises offer a unique, historic and nature-based adventure through some of the driest parts of the driest continent. Your Captain will navigate past mallee scrub and ancient red gumforests, through towering gorges and ochre-coloured limestone cliffs as you journey down the mighty Murray River.

Along the way visit historic ports and lush vineyards as we navigate the Murray’s locks and big river bends. Visit a riverside village or take a nocturnal eco-tour after a riverside barbeque. Sample some of the local produce at the cellar door, or take a camera and catch some memorable scenes of the abundant birdlife.

“We felt in touch with the land and its creatures…it lifted our spirits as we snaked along this ancient river. A wonderful experience of a bygone era.“
