Great fun Melbourne night-time cruise - Very good value for money. We had a great cruise and it was so interesting seeing iconic Melbourne landmarks lit up at night from the Yarra River.

Explore the city via river cruise - One of the best methods to explore the city. Great river cruise. The seating was basic. We saw some bridges, buildings, vessels and containers. The relevant commentaries were provided. Relaxing journey. Nice staffs. Free tea or coffee. However, outside seats were limited.

Very enjoyable cruise down the Yarra - Very enjoyable cruise down the Yarra river on a beautiful Autumn day. Informative commentary whilst travelling upstream and music on the way back. Drinks available on board. We sat inside for part of the trip and outside for part.

Shabby Rundown Boat - far from 5 star as advertised - The large boat, which is advertised on their website, is not the boat we went on. The boat was half the size and very rundown. I specifically chose this cruise, as it departed from Number 2 wharf, which was not a long walk from the tram. When I arrived I was told that the large boat was having work done to it, and the small boat was on Number 6 wharf, a very long walk all the way to the end of the walkway. I asked if they had any transport to number 6 and the answer was no.
Very rundown, they advertise they have a bar, there was no bar, they advertise they are 5 star, I would rate it 1 star. Another cruise company cruised past us, and I knew that I had chosen the wrong cruise company straight away.
There is a lift from the street but then a large set of stairs, about 30, to get down to the wharf. No facilities for disabled access.
