Coming 2027: Australian Sky — A New Era of Murray River Cruising 

We’re delighted to announce the newest member of our fleet — Australian Sky — launching in late 2027 and set to redefine luxury river cruising in Australia.

As the elegant sister ship to Australian Star, Australian Sky will be the first five-star overnight paddlesteamer to call Mildura home in decades. She will offer 3 to 11-night cruises along the iconic Murray River, with itineraries stretching from Mildura to Adelaide, including the longest cruises ever offered on the Murray.

With just 19 spacious staterooms, all-inclusive experiences, fine dining, panoramic lounges, and immersive shore excursions, Australian Sky promises a new level of comfort, connection, and discovery.

Supported by the Victorian Government through the Regional Tourism Investment Fund and in proud partnership with APT Travel Group, Australian Sky will deliver unforgettable river journeys beneath the vast skies and golden light of Victoria’s sun-soaked northwest.

🌟 Where the river meets the sky…

Whether it’s sipping wine on deck at sunset, dining under the stars, or waking to the peaceful beauty of the Murray, Australian Sky is designed to let you slow down, breathe deep, and experience the magic of the river like never before.

📅 Launching late 2027
🚢 Bookings expected to open mid-2026
