The journey

PS Australian Star cruises the Murray River from Torrumbarry, near Echuca, with the comfort of a five-star stay and the river drifting past your window.

The cruise returns to Torrumbarry, so it pairs naturally with a visit to Melbourne and a holiday that continues on to Adelaide afterwards.

How it fits around your visit

Spend time with loved ones in Melbourne, travel to Echuca to join the cruise, and afterwards continue your holiday in Adelaide before flying home.

Nancy can arrange the transfer from Melbourne to the river, the cruise itself, and the onward travel and flights that complete the holiday.
