Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Friendly staff. Food was ample and very accommodating to dietary needs. Loved the different cocktails everyday. Bills’ entertainment / games was hilarious and off shore excursions were excellent

This was part of a larger trip organised by Imagine Holidays and was excellent. Apart from the great scenery, the food was 5 star and the on-shore excursions were great.
The staff were ALWAYS attentive, polite and hard working. Lead by Captain Gus, Cruise Directors Chantel and Amy and the wonderful entertainer Andy they made our holiday a great experience. Thoroughly recommend this to all but probably more so for the older members of the community.

My very first cruise which mum and I came on for my 50th. It has been planned for over 7 months. I am absolutely blown away by the ambiance. The views. The food. The crew are exceptional. Mum being disabled we weren’t sure how she would go but we are in an accessible room and the whole team are so accommodating. I can’t fault and we have another 3 days to go on our 7 day adventure. For the first 4 nights and some the whole trip. Special mention to Nick our cruise director. Andy our entertainment. Luke and Aaron and Will from the kitchen. Thomas and John the waiters and my girl Delle. Emily the bar staff. Crew changed and we didn’t get a chance to tell them personally so hopefully they see this. We will most definitely be back. Maybe in 5 years for mums 80th. Thank you all so much for making this such a memorable experience for us both. Totally worth it and all the off boat options are amazing. Def have to do the Monato Zoo.

A fabulous 4 days! Fortunate to have sufficient water flowing for a full river experience.
The bird-life is amazing! So many opportunities to have river birds flying above you, from your vantage point on the upper deck: pelicans, eagles, kites, ospreys, water and wading birds, as well as white cockatoos and galahs.
Spacious room ( booked a large one) with every comfort.
Staff were cheerful, helpful, and patient.
Wonderful food, catering to all tastes.
Excursions were fun, different and really informative.
The dining room may have been filled grey hair and bald heads, but an atmosphere of fun and good nature was evident.
Two 'not so obvious' positives: The wonderful team of young people who supported us also would come to understand that, although older, we still have a brain; secondly, oldies travelling provides employment for thousands of fantastic young people and contributes significantly to the economy!

A highly recommended experience.

It was very picturesque and relaxing. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food. The downside was the sewage smell permeating in cabin 47 Cadell deck when the A/C was operational.
That aside I enjoyed the 3 nights on board.

The Murray at its best. Views amazing so peaceful and seeing it aboard an amazing vessel. From Captain Gus and his amazing staff, the off shore excursions. Such organisation. Meeting a fabulous bunch on Table 2. Had so much fun. This trip had been on my bucket list and I can’t believe I left it so long. Cabins had plenty of room. Nice hot showers etc. Great way to spend four days being spoilt. Thank you all for a great trip
