What you can expect

Enjoy one of Melbourne's most unique dining experiences with a delicious 4 course meal aboard the Spirit of Melbourne Cruising Restaurant as it winds its way along the calm waters of the Yarra River past the glowing city lights of Melbourne! Over the course of 3 hours, you'll enjoy freshly-prepared food as well as a number of included beverages - both alcoholic and soft drinks - for the duration of your cruise included in the price of admission. Seeing Melbourne city at night provides an entirely new viewpoint on the skyline, which you'll be able to view from either the expansive viewing windows indoors or outside on the viewing deck.

Enjoy a tantalising tasting platter to start, then follow it up with your choice of several mains including chicken, fish, beef, lamb and a vegetarian option to ensure all tastes are covered. Indulge your sweet tooth with a selection of mini desserts, then cap everything off with a lovely cheese platter consisting of a number of Aussie cheeses, crackers, fruit and nuts. Ideal for both celebrating special occasions or simply for a classy and relaxing night out, this Melbourne dinner cruise is one of the more special ways to dine out in Victoria's capital.

Had an amazing experience on the cruise. Dinner was fantastic and the cruise team were easygoing and very helpful.

I purchased the tickets for my brother and his partner, but due to Covid, they weren’t able to make it. I had to swap the gift with my husband's birthday present, and although it’s not something my husband would have chosen to do, he still enjoyed it. Had an amazing experience on the cruise. Dinner was fantastic and the cruise team were easygoing and very helpful. The night was perfect with amazing weather. The sunset and the night scene were majestic. Definitely recommend this to family and friends.

Warm boat on a very cool evening. Terrific service and a great choice of meals. The ambience is great. Good boarding spot and very smooth sailing. Staff accommodated us by taking family photos and were very attentive and careful with the food with two of our party who had coeliac disease.

The first time my partner and I have tried this. She has always wanted to go and so we did it.

The first time my partner and I have tried this. She has always wanted to go and so we did it. The food was very good better than I expected and complimented with unlimited alcohol how could you go wrong? The staff were very attentive and well-mannered. The only fault and this is very minor would be the route we take. Maybe we can’t go the other way on the Yarra and so we have to go that way. But then again that’s a very minor one.
