About this space

Yarra Empress is one of the many boats on offer at Melbourne River Cruises, many of which would be a familiar sight upon the Yarra River, trundling past Southbank and past the Botanic Gardens.

Combining sightseeing (even in your home city) with a truly unique setting, they’re as popular with private events like weddings and birthdays as they are with the many tourists who flock to Melbourne all year round.
