About this space

Yarra Countess is one of Melbourne River Cruises’ fleet of cruisers, a familiar sight upon the Yarra River, trundling past Southbank and around past the Botanic Gardens. Combining sightseeing and a truly unique setting, they’re as popular with private events as they are with the many tourists who flock to Melbourne all year round.

The cruises make their way past the iconic panoramic view that is Melbourne, from the twinkling skyline at night, to bustling Southbank, from the Botanic Gardens to the Docklands, and even further afield to Williamstown.
