This delightful evening promises an memorable dining experience with locally sourced ingredients prepared by top chefs.

Treat yourself to the finer things in life: an evening cruise along the Yarra River, yummy food, great drinks, and stunning city views.

The cruise offers a taste of the region's finest produce, including locally cured meats and vegetarian entrees, followed by a main course and desserts.

Polish the meal with beer, premium reds, whites, sparkling wines, and spirits as you tuck into a cheese platter and lip-smacking desserts.

Try to look away from the food and through the glass windows for stunning views of the Federation Square, waterfront precinct, Herring Island, etc.

Fun fact: During the Victorian gold rush in the mid-19th century, the Yarra River was a bustling waterway as thousands of people traveled upstream in search of gold.

All things wine, dine, and fine

Swaying gently on the Yarra River awaits the mighty vessel Spirit of Melbourne, at Southbank Promenade, to welcome you onboard. You'll spend the next 3 evening hours eating, drinking, and making merry against an almost poetic backdrop of the Melbourne cityscape. It's not going to be easy to focus on the stunning views of the Royal Botanical Gardens or Riverside Park when there's so much delicious food in front of you.

Spanning 4 courses, each dish is meticulously prepared by top chefs using locally sourced high-quality ingredients. From non-vegetarian delicacies like lamb kofta and barramundi to vegetarian delights including ratatouille filo parcel, there's something for everyone.

Stellar Melbourne skyline

As you eat, don't forget to pause and take a look through the clear glass windows to admire just how pretty Melbourne is. Meanwhile, treat yourself to fine wines, red, white, and sparkling, beer, spirits, orange juice, and soft beverages. Indulge in a yummy cheese platter and adorable mini desserts before you polish it all off with some tea, coffee, port, or liqueur.
