About this tour
A 2-hour brunch cruise on the Yarra River featuring unlimited alcoholic beverages, food, and hot drinks. You'll board in central Melbourne and float past the city's landmarks while eating and drinking — a straightforward alternative to a stationary brunch venue, best suited to groups after a social, boozy experience rather than a guided sightseeing tour.
Highlights
- Unlimited alcoholic beverages throughout the 2-hour cruise
- Brunch and coffee or tea included
- Float past Melbourne's riverside landmarks
- No fitness requirements — suitable for all abilities
- Service animals welcome on board
- Central location with nearby public transport access
What to expect
You'll arrive at the Melbourne River Cruises departure point in the city centre and board the vessel. Once underway, you'll be served brunch and have access to unlimited alcoholic and hot beverages for the full 2 hours as the boat cruises along the Yarra River, passing recognisable city views.
The format is social and relaxed rather than structured — there's no guided commentary or activities listed. You'll spend the time eating, drinking, and chatting with your group or other passengers while the boat moves at a steady pace. The cruise returns to the starting point after 2 hours.

Good to know
This suits groups or couples looking for a casual, booze-focused brunch experience with a change of scenery. It's a low-intensity activity open to all fitness levels. Be aware that alcohol is central to the experience; if that's not your style, a land-based brunch may suit you better. Seasickness can affect some people on the water, even on smooth days — factor that in if you're prone to it. The cruise operates in Melbourne's CBD, so expect urban crowds and typical city noise. Service animals are permitted. Check the operator's cancellation policy for weather-related changes, as river conditions may affect sailing. The inclusions cover food and drinks, so no hidden costs are flagged, but confirm whether you need to book a minimum party size.
