 ps. murray princess
Step aboard Australia's largest inland paddlewheeler "P.S. Murray Princess" and experience the ultimate riverboat adventure on Australia's greatest river. The Murray River will carry you away to a place where legends were made. You'll explore a timeless landscape, observe fascinating native wildlife at close hand, visit historic river ports and ancient aboriginal sites.
 Journey through breathtaking gorges & big river bends. Join the fun of a traditional campfire barbecue, a guided riverbank walk and the elegant Captain's Dinner. Optional tours include Barossa Valley wineries, golf, and more.
The PS Murray Princess is a true inland paddlewheeler and a romantic representative of a time when hundreds of such vessels plied the river. Catering to just 120 passengers, she brings the unique advantages of small ship cruising to the remarkable setting of Australia's outback.
Murray Princess's lounges are spectacular meeting areas, with floor to ceiling windows affording panoramic views of the massive stern paddlewheel. The spacious upper decks offer plenty of sunny and shady retreats to escape with a cool drink and a good book. And for a total river adventure Murray Princess also carries an onboard tender for exhilarating speed boat rides through the 'big bends'.
