ECHUCA TOURS
Step aboard the PS Emmylou for a seven-night cruise where nature, yesteryear, relaxation and Australian TV history seamlessly blend together into an unforgettable experience. This cruise, that pays homage to its namesake novel, starring Emmylou as PS Providence, will see you spending your days listening to Kookaburras’ song and watching flocks of galahs fly overhead. Evenings pass watching the sunset through towering Red Gums before the moon rises over the Mighty Murray. You can also partake in movie nights where the 1984 movie adaptation is played, allowing our guests to reminisce about way back when. Onshore tours will take you to popular and lesser-known places of historical, geographical and cultural significance, where you will learn about the rich history of this beautiful river area.
Spend three mornings waking up to the sounds of the rhythmic swish of the paddlewheels on our popular three-night Murray River Discovery. Whether you’re captivated by history, yearning for relaxation, or keen to see the beauty of the river with your own eyes, this cruise has it all.
