Your experience

Enjoy Melbourne’s best skyline and sunset

Step aboard Lady M, a boutique cruise boat designed for small groups, and set out on the Yarra River for an intimate 1.5-hour sightseeing journey as the sun sets over Melbourne. With a maximum of 25 guests, this cruise offers a relaxed setting ideal for couples, friends and families seeking an elevated perspective of the cityscape. The boat's small-group capacity allows everyone to have a good vantage point of Melbourne's top sights and the tranquil waters of the Yarra.

As you drift past the heart of Melbourne, your skipper takes care of all navigation while providing live commentary. From modern city landmarks to heritage architecture like Federation Square, you'll learn the stories behind each sight. The cruise route includes highlights such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, the sporting icons like Melbourne Cricket Ground and the vibrant Docklands precinct with Victoria Harbour. Unique photo spots appear at every turn, letting you capture the changing mood of the city bathed in golden sunset hues.

Atmosphere and amenities

Make the experience even more special with your choice of beverage, available for purchase from the boat's onboard bar. Whether you prefer something sparkling or a comforting snack, the Lady M offers a selection to suit most tastes. As the sun lowers, sip your drink and enjoy the soft lighting, the city’s evening breeze and the sight of locals and visitors taking in the riverbanks.

The intimate configuration of Lady M means there's space to roam and find the perfect spot for photos or conversation. The covered areas keep you sheltered, while open decks ensure nothing interrupts those all-important sunset views. With the relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere, the cruise is a perfect way to unwind at the close of the day.

Special sunset moments and surprises

As dusk settles, keep your eyes on the city lights reflecting off the river. One iconic moment you’ll experience is the nightly Crown Casino fire show — columns of flame erupt on schedule, lighting the night sky in brilliant bursts along the waterfront. The spectacle adds a touch of theatre to your cruise, making the evening especially memorable.

Beyond sightseeing, the cruise invites you to experience an authentic part of Melbourne’s culture: the river that links its sporting, historical and leisure precincts. As you pass familiar landmarks, you’ll hear stories about the city’s development and its thriving arts community. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime resident, the live commentary brings new details and lesser-known facts to light.
