LIFE ON THE MURRAY RIVER Set sail from Mannum, and you’ll feel life’s stresses begin to give way to the river’s soothing calmness as it flows towards the sea. Pelicans glide across the water, spoonbills peer down from the treetops, and parrots skip from branch to branch as the scenery slips by. Gaze out from the sun deck and take in the billabongs, woodlands and pastures, and imagine a distant age of riverboat trade.

If you’re keen to see more, take a nature walk, exploring ancient forests where Aboriginal people once carved canoes from the eucalypts, or join us on one of our excursions into this special part of South Australia. Then, once the sun sets, a new part of the river becomes home as the PS Murray Princess finds a quiet moorage. Swap stories with your fellow guests over dinner or a drink before a peaceful night’s sleep. There’s no better way to experience the tranquility and timelessness of Australia’s mightiest river than aboard our paddlewheeler, the PS Murray Princess.
