Transport back in time to an era of romantic travel as you leisurely cruise 180km of the Upper Murray River and connect with the pioneering history aboard a historical paddlesteamer.

During your journey, step off the vessel to experience tours highlighting places of geographical, historical and Aboriginal cultural significance as well as some quaint riverside wineries and breweries.

Enjoy the warm and inviting atmosphere of a mid-1800's riverboat charm, on the Paddlesteamer Emmylou; featuring modern conveniences and a choice of queen, double and twin contemporary deluxe cabins, all fitted with a private en suite.

The Emmylou Queen Suite is located at the front of the boat with French doors that open out onto the deck and a seating area to relax with a drink as you watch the riverbanks drift by.

Dining is an Australian epicurean affair as the on-board chef creates dishes with a diverse range of fresh, local ingredients which are all inclusive throughout your journey.
