PS Emmylou

Solo travellers, rejoice! Murray River Paddlesteamers has unveiled an exciting opportunity to explore the iconic Murray River at a fraction of the usual cost.

This special offer is available until January 31, 2025, or until sold out.

Step Aboard the Legendary PS Emmylou

One of the most recognisable paddlesteamers in Australia, the 16-guest PS Emmylou, is the centerpiece of this extraordinary offer. Known for its starring role in the 1980s TV mini-series All the Rivers Run, the vessel combines old-world charm with modern comfort. Powered by a restored 1906 steam engine and extensively refurbished, the PS Emmylou offers guests deluxe cabins complete with private ensuites, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and direct access to the paddlesteamer’s timber deck.

Authentic River Adventures

PS Emmylou offers all-inclusive four- and seven-night cruises departing from Echuca, located on the Victoria/New South Wales border. Each journey promises:

Scenic Stops: Visits to wineries, historic farm stations, indigenous sites, and picturesque country towns.
Wildlife Encounters: Unique opportunities to observe native fauna along tributaries and bushland.
Dining Experiences: Guests enjoy gourmet meals served on deck or in the saloon, riverside picnics, and an unforgettable campfire dinner under the stars.
Tranquil Evenings: Each night, the paddlesteamer moors at peaceful, remote locations, offering serenity and a chance to soak in the beauty of the Australian bush.

Three-night cruise: From $1,800 (saving $1,080)
Four-night cruise: From $2,400 (saving $1,440)
