Easter Cruise departs Friday 29 March 2024
Easter is celebrated in countries around the world in many different ways. Here in Australia, many Australians take advantage of the long-weekend for a short holiday. A great way to spend your next Easter break is to take a cruise on the Murray River aboard the Murray Princess.
There’ll be a few Easter flavoured events and activities over the 3 days but mostly you’ll also get the chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful lower river land between Mannum and Blanchetown and the great variety of flora and fauna. You'll love visiting the Sunnydale Woolshed Show and not to mention the great food and entertainment throughout the cruise. What a way to spend your next Easter break!
