THE news of an extended ocean cruising suspension (CW yesterday) has not stopped river operator Murray River Paddlesteamers, which on Fri announced a plan to resume operations on 06 Jun.
Canberra and Emmylou (pictured) fall outside the prohibition rules, as both carry less than 100 passengers, with the cruise line to operate on an ad hoc basis, subject to demand, which has thus far been strong.
Murray River Paddlesteamers Director Craig Burgess noted four cabins on Emmylou had already been sold for the two-night Winter Escape, departing 19 and 26 Jun – CLICK HERE.
The two departures promise all-day cruising, a riverside campfire, a walking tour of Perricoota Station in the New South Wales Riverina and a three-course Sat night dinner with complimentary wines.
Priced from $664 per person, a 20% discount is on offer if booked prior to 31 May.
Group charter interest, as well as bookings for the new six-night All the Rivers Run cruise (CW 24 Apr) have also been strong, with just a few cabins remaining for the 09 Nov trip.
Murray River Paddlesteamers has also initiated a Cruise Well program, with a number of new pre-cruise initiatives designed to maintain guest health and safety, such as contactless boarding, social distancing and a range of pre-cruise information updates.
