Welcome aboard to a timeless journey on the Murray River
At Murray River Paddlesteamers, we invite you to journey through time along the majestic Murray River on our iconic fleet of paddlesteamers – now growing with exciting new additions. Joining the beloved PS Canberra and luxurious PS Emmylou, the all-new PS Australian Star launches from Echuca in late Spring 2025, offering elevated multi-night experiences steeped in comfort and history.
And looking ahead, the PS Australian Sky – sister ship to Australian Star – will set sail from Mildura in late 2027, extending our signature style of heritage cruising further along the river.
Whether you’re after a relaxing day cruise, a gourmet overnight adventure, or a unique event on the water, our dedicated crew and historic vessels promise breathtaking scenery, rich storytelling, and unforgettable moments. Come aboard and explore the river with those who know and love it best.
