About this space

Yarra Queen - surely one of the more unique function venues around, given the fact that it glides gently along the Yarra, with the city lights as a backdrop, through large windows that line the side of the elegant vessel.

So yes, it’s pretty popular with functions.

Combining sightseeing (even in your home city) with a truly unique setting.
