Escape to the country and experience a luxury boutique river cruise on the legendary Murray River on the world's only wood-fired cruising Paddlesteamer. PS Emmylou has been refurbished to luxury standards and now offers 1 to 4 night authentic cruises in comfort and style. Experience luxury cabins with ensuites, riverside dining, cosy campfires, winery visits and historical and cultural wonders as you wind your way down one of the longest river systems in the world.

Revisit the romance of Australia's paddlesteamers

Built in the style of the 19th Century Paddlesteamers, PS Emmylou, the world's only wood-fired cruising paddlesteamer reminds us of the romantic days of the Paddlesteamers and is now an Australian Icon of the River.

During 2018 PS Emmylou underwent a specially designed luxury upgrade and fit out. The new contemporary cabins and ensuites include fine linens topped with silky duvets, with the boats' premier cabin, the Emmylou Suite located on the front Upper Deck, with French Doors opening to a deck and 180 degree views of the river. Guests can enjoy small boat boutique river cruising at it's finest with just 16 guests comfortably accommodated in 8 deluxe cabins as PS Emmylou visits places of geographic, historic and Aboriginal cultural significance. Guests will also enjoy onshore tours visiting outstanding local wineries, dropping into local producers and accessing ancient world heritage Murray river tributaries aboard MV Kingfisher with an environmental specialist.

Onboard dining, prepared by the Emmylou's Chef, features local produce and wine from across the Heathcote and Perricoota wine regions. Riverside campfires are offered in the evenings, with stunning night skies to complete this unique experience.

Murray River Paddlesteamers is proud to continue the tradition of overnight cruising on Australia's greatest waterway with its trademark level of country hospitality aboard an authentic paddlesteamer. Murray River Paddlesteamers hopes you can join them to connect you with Australia's inland history, geography, culture and cuisine.
