The World's Fifth Largest River

The mighty Murray courses more than 3,000 kilometres across one third of the Australian continent. From its source in the Snowy Mountains of NSW, to the Southern Ocean near Adelaide, the Murray/Darling Basin square kilometres of land.

An Ancient Landscape

The scenery is some of the most ancient on earth - a place where all the colours of Australia converge. Cruise through miles of gorges, millions of years old. Discover golden sandstone cliffs towering over blue-green lagoons, majestic red gum forests under endless blue skies and green irrigated farmlands against red desert plains.

Wildlife Oasis

The Murray is haven for over 350 species of birds. It's an outback oasis for a myriad of fascinating wildlife including majestic sulphur crested cockatoos, kangaroos, goannas, black swans, gentle pelicans and the legendary Murray Cod.

Paddlesteamer Heritage

A fundamental part of Australia's heritage was founded in the proud paddlesteamer tradition. The Murray was the lifeline to pioneers who lived on the driest continent on earth. Over 200 paddlesteamers plied the river day and night, negotiating hidden reefs, massive sandbars and treacherous passages.

Murray's Finest

Murray Princess is Australia's largest and most luxuriously appointed paddle wheeler. She represents a new age in inland cruising and an elegant recreation of a bygone era.

Ship Indulgence

Murray princess was purpose built to offer an indulgent outback river experience. Her graceful stern paddlewheel, antique mahogany furnishings and spiral staircases, reflect the elegance of the grand era of Murray River cruising. The lounges are spectacular meeting areas, with floor to ceiling windows affording panoramic views of the massive stern paddlewheel. The spacious upper decks offer plenty of sunny and shady retreats to escape with a cool drink and a good book. And for a total river adventure Murray Princess also carries an onboard tender for exhilarating speed boat rides through the "big bends."
