Fun thing to do
The cruise was great, liked the commentary, Williamstown was lovely to walk around. Had lunch and then returned on the cruise. The sunny weather made it a wonderful day.

Melbourne Cruise
Good cruise. But the sound system on board was drowned out by crowd noise. That made it very difficult to hear what seemed to be an informative commentary. It would be better to supply individual headsets or fit more speakers.

Great day out
We took the river cruise from Southbank to Williamstown. I am from Melbourne but I thought it could be a good idea to take an interstate friend. They loved it, as did I (even though I’ve done it before). It was lovely weather, which definitely helped. The cruise was pleasant & the descriptions of what we were going past was very informative. We stayed in Williamstown for a couple of hours which was a little too long for us, but that’s ok. It gives you enough time to have a sit down lunch. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a relaxing day.
