Meander down the Murray River

South Australia

Slow travel at its best! Cruise along the mighty Murray River, the third-longest navigable river in the world on Australia’s newest paddle steamer, the PS Australian Star.

Purpose-built for comfort and style, this elegant vessel brings the golden age of river travel back to life on the Murray.

Glide past red gum forests, vineyard-dotted banks and historic river towns as the paddlewheel turns lazily through the water.

Combining heritage charm with modern luxury, on board enjoy gourmet dining, fine wines and sunset views from the deck - it’s a relaxing way to experience Australia’s longest river.
