Adelaide & Murray Princess Country Music Cruise

Mid-afternoon, the Murray Princess departs historic Mannum and heads downriver. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks and cocktails (own expense) from the Sturt Bar along with an introduction to your crew who will look after you for the duration of your cruise. Also meet our guest entertainer Dave Freeman and enjoy his music during your Welcome Dinner as we cruise under floodlight to our overnight mooring at Murray Bridge.

Departing Mundurra early, we head downriver where we moor alongside the township of Murray Bridge. In 1879 the first bridge to span the Murray River was built here at Edwards Crossing which quickly became the bustling township of Murray Bridge.
After a hearty breakfast, choose to join a guided tour of the town’s historic landmarks and local attractions or go on a wildlife tour to Monarto Safari Park (additional cost). A shuttle bus is available to the main street of Murray Bridge or if you’d prefer, take a walk across the bridge or a leisurely stroll along the pleasant river front lawns and area.
For those guests who have chosen to go on the Monarto Safari Park Wildlife Tour, your guide will be waiting for you to take you on a private coach tour where you will be able to see a snapshot of many inhabitants of the park including Giraffe, Eland, Zebra, White Rhinoceros, Cheetah, Lions, Hyena and Wild Dogs. After the tour, you will return to Murray Bridge and re-board the Murray Princess in time for lunch.
Tonight, we will moor at Salt Bush Flat and after dinner, Dave will thrill you with his Country Cruisin’ Music Show which includes hits from Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, John Denver, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley and many more!

After a delicious breakfast, join the First Officer at the gangway for a guided nature walk at Salt Bush Flat. Depart late morning and enjoy a regional Riverland/Murrayland local food and wine tasting presentation in the Sturt Dining Room.
During lunch we will continue cruising downriver with time to relax and enjoy the on-board facilities. Catch up with friends over a coffee or a drink and reminisce about last night’s entertainment whilst enjoying the magnificent scenery.
This afternoon we will moor at River View Lodge (near Piggy Flat/ Coolcha) where the ‘Dragon-Fly’ flat-bottomed boat awaits you. Travel in small, personalised groups and explore the river, getting up close to the 20-million-year-old limestone cliffs and view the amazing birdlife, including darters, herons and egrets that inhabit the areas along river’s edge.
This afternoon, enjoy a fun game of bocce on the riverbank or try your hand at fishing. Tonight, join your fellow guests for a delicious final night dinner and more great music and songs from Dave.

We depart Riverview Lodge early in the morning while enjoying breakfast in the Sturt Dining Room before docking at the Mannum Wharf at
9:00 am.
