Good to know
• The Melbourne Highlights Cruise may include a pause between the two tours and may require switching to a different boat. • The downriver portion of the cruise is subject to tidal conditions. If river levels do not allow downriver cruising, the cruise will operate upriver only. In this case, a 50% refund will be issued, which is less than the standard price of a one-hour cruise. We absorb the difference.
Getting there
Meet at Melbourne River Cruises, Berth No 2, Southgate Arts and Leisure Precinct Landing, Lower Promenade, located at the rear of Langham Hotel, Southgate. Please check-in at the ticket kiosk to exchange your online tickets for a boarding pass.
