About this tour
Eight days aboard the Murray Princess takes you through the Murraylands' river gorges and red gum forests, calling at heritage towns including Waikerie, Morgan and Swan Reach. You'll cruise past sandstone cliffs, explore nature trails, tour local vineyards and stop at Banrock Station for lunch among the wetlands. This is river travel as it was meant to be—slow, unhurried, with the landscape unfolding from your cabin.

What to expect
You'll spend your days on deck watching the landscape change—gorges giving way to forests, then open river country. Most mornings include a guided walk or eco-tour ashore; afternoons are yours to relax, attend presentations or explore towns at your own pace. Each evening brings dinner onboard with live entertainment. The rhythm is gentle and deliberate. Meals are communal affairs, though drinks aren't included. The ship has lift access throughout, and the pace suits all fitness levels.
Good to know
Beverages at meals cost extra. Some onshore excursions involve an additional fee. Adelaide coach transfers are included, though you can arrange your own parking instead. Service animals are welcome. Public transport options exist nearby if you need flexibility.
