Murray River: 3-night Discovery Cruise - May 2019

Friday
Mid-afternoon the PS Murray Princess departs historic Mannum,
the birthplace of the Murray River trade and communication, and
heads downriver while you enjoy a Welcome Dinner.

As we cruise under floodlight to our overnight mooring at
Mundurra, you may see nocturnal wildlife on the riverbank.
Watch for kangaroos, hairy-nosed wombats, tortoises, egrets and
many other species. Our on-board entertainer provides music for
the night owls.

Saturday
In 1879 the first bridge to span the Murray River was built at
Edwards Crossing, which quickly became the bustling township
of Murray Bridge. After a hearty breakfast, choose to join a guided
tour of the town’s historic landmarks and local attractions or go on
a wildlife tour at Monarto Zoo (additional cost).

Those who choose to experience Monarto Zoo will arrive back on
board the Murray Princess in time for lunch then join us in the Sturt
Dining Room for a special presentation on the bounty of food and
wine produced in the Riverland.

This afternoon, we continue our journey upriver and tonight we
moor at Salt Bush Flat. After dinner, enjoy being entertained by our
talented crew.

Sunday
All ashore for the guided nature walk where our guide will share
the secrets of the local flora and fauna. It’s a great way to get in a
little exercise before the PS Murray Princess departs and cruises
downriver.

Near Fromms Landing, we turn and head downriver to River View
Lodge (near Piggy Flat / Coolcha) where your discovery vessel
awaits for a wildlife tour. Travelling in small, personalised groups,
we explore the maze of the river and the birdlife is amazing. Watch
for darters, herons and egrets feeding along the river’s muddy
edges.

The afternoon offers a choice of bocce or fishing challenges before
joining the Captain and Officers for the Farewell Dinner and Dance.

Monday
We head back to Mannum and after breakfast, we reluctantly say
farewell as we arrive at the Mannum Wharf.
