Story

Located on the banks of the Murray River, in the bustling riverport of Echuca, Murray River Paddlesteamers proudly operate 3 beautifully restored paddlesteamers.

With a combined age of over 230 years our fleet, the PS Canberra, Pride of the Murray and PS Emmylou, have a proud history working along the rivers. These days, with each of the boats offering a unique tourism experience the future is as exciting as the past, and our crew can't wait to show you what it's all about!

With a huge range of experiences on offer, and operating every day of the year except Christmas Day, there is something for everyone at Murray River Paddlesteamers.

Throughout the year we offer daily short cruises, and morning & afternoon tea cruises, or if you're looking for something more, Wharf-To-Winery, lunch and dinner cruises.

During the warmer months (September - May) PS Emmylou departs on relaxing 1 and 2 night heritage cruises - there's no better way to soak up the atmosphere of river life! PS Emmylou also offers dockside accommodation, year round, with our 'Boatel' package - if you would like a night, or more, in Echuca's most unique and waterfront hotel.

PS Emmylou (b. 1980) is our fully licensed restaurant paddlesteamer, seating over 40 guests for morning tea, afternoon tea, lunch or dinner, and comfortably accommodating 18 guests overnight. Our chefs prepare all meals freshly onboard, and the menus are changed seasonally complimented with a fine selection of wines and beers. Why not indulge, take some time out, and enjoy some delicious food whilst watching the beautiful scenery slide past onboard Echuca's Finest Paddlesteamer, PS Emmylou.

PS Canberra (b. 1913) and Pride of the Murray (b. 1924) are the perfect way to see the old Port of Echuca from the river. Listen to the Captain as they recall the colourful history of the riverboat trade; whilst you cruise past the towering redgum wharves in the area.

If you'd like to make a day of it, you can join us for our famous Wharf - To - Winery package. Arrive at the award winning Morrison's Winery in style, by paddlesteamer of course, to enjoy an afternoon of decadent food and fine wine before enjoying a leisurely cruise back to the Port of Echuca.

For something a bit different, why not experience Riverlights: The Story of Echuca. Set off onboard Pride of the Murray for a 2-course dinner whilst cruising under darkness, before the story of Echuca and the paddlesteamers is revealed before your eyes. We won't say too much, it'll give the surprise away!

Of course, if you would like to experience any of this privately, or create a tailor-made package to suit your needs, all of our paddlesteamers are available for exclusive charter.

Our crew look forward to welcoming you onboard one of Echuca's favourite paddlesteamers!!

A friend booked it for 5 nights and 6 days over Easter 2025 and it was one of the best experiences my family had for a long time. The costumer service was very friendly, they explained everything to us, the boat itself was well equipped and good quality. Although we had some issues with the water pump, the journey on the Murray and the enjoyment was priceless. We even caught a Murray Cod and some Carps. We will do it again soon.
From the entrance, through to the cruise and back to the exit, the experience, the staff and the dad jokes were all impeccable! The boat is kept in pristine condition and being able to steer a 112-year old boat was amazing!nnBar on board is also a great touch and blankets are available for those sitting outside.nnLot of information provided on nature, land, animals, history and the works, including every paddle steamer that we passed.nnAll-in-all, a must do 1 of the only must do's in Echuca!
We went on the PV Canberra. This was an hour long trip on the Murray River on a 108 year old steam engined paddle boat.nThe lady skipper was certainly an awesome Master Captain, handling the boat with precision and flair. There was a great comentary along the way. Drinks, snacks and souvenirs were available for purchase. This is a real bucket list item to do!
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Murray River Paddlesteamers cruise aboard the historic PS Canberra! This 110-year-old paddle steamer, powered by a 1923 wood-fired steam engine, took us on a captivating 1-hour journey that felt like stepping back in time. The elegance and nostalgia of this beautifully restored boat made the experience truly special for our whole family—kids, parents, and grandparents alike!nThe cruise along the majestic Murray River was perfect for all ages. The kids were thrilled to take turns steering the boat and even received personalized skipper certificates, which they proudly showed off! The crew was fantastic, sharing fun stories about the river’s history and the steamer’s past that kept everyone engaged. Watching the engineer stoke the steam engine with redgum wood was a highlight, sparking wide-eyed wonder in the little ones and fascinating the adults too.nThe scenery was breathtaking, with serene riverbanks and wildlife that had us all snapping photos. The onboard kiosk offered yummy snacks and drinks, keeping everyone happy, and the open deck areas were great for kids to move around safely while taking in the views. The PS Canberra’s vintage charm, with its polished woodwork, created a cozy, welcoming vibe that made us feel right at home.nThis family-friendly adventure was a hit for everyone, from our energetic toddlers to our history-loving grandparents. We highly recommend the PS Canberra cruise for a fun, relaxing, and memorable outing on the Murray River that’s perfect for all ages
Had a wonderful day on the Wharf to Winery Cruise, and particularly so since my dog could join us on the whole experience. The commentary on the paddle steamer was informative and entertaining, and the lunch at Morrisons Winery was exquisite. Highly recommended
