Captain Cook Cruises will
operate two rare Murray
River cruises this year.
SUITABLE RIVER CONDITIONS HAVE ENABLED CCC TO
plan ahead for two seven-night Renmark
cruises aboard the PS Murray Princess.
The first cruise will depart from Mannum
on 02 Dec 2011 and the second cruise from
Renmark on 09 Dec 2011.
The voyages pass through Portee Bar,
Kingston On Murray, Cobdogla and Moorook,
and passengers will visit Burk Salter Vineyard
at Blanchetown, the Morgan Museum and
the historic towns of Waikerie, Berri and Loxton.
Taking in over 420km of the Murray River,
the experience includes five locks from
Mannum to Renmark, near the Victorian/
NSW border.
A Renmark cruise only occurs when the
river conditions are right, according to CCC.
Following in the trail of 19th-century pioneers,
the Murray Princess will negotiate massive
sandbars, hidden reefs and submerged forests
on a journey that has taken months to prepare.
Prices start from $1599pp/ts and include
accommodation, all meals, guided nature
walks and eco-excursions, onboard
presentations, use of ship’s facilities, the
captain’s dinner and cocktail party, live
entertainment, coach transfers from Adelaide
or car parking in Mannum.
