Want to unlock a one‑of‑a‑kind retro river adventure around Melbourne? Step aboard the PS Canberra, the world's only wood‑fired paddle steamer on the Murray River, and let the century‑old vessel's charm envelop you in an immersive, slow‑paced experience — fun for the whole family!
Since 1944, the PS Canberra has carried travellers along the Murray River, still retaining the warmth of time. Fitted with a fully restored 1906 steam engine that burns local red gum wood, the roar of the steam and the slap of the paddle wheel instantly transport you back to a bygone riverboat era — every detail steeped in vintage romance.

A professional captain accompanies the entire journey, weaving tales of the Murray River port's century‑old history and the unique stories of the paddle steamer fleet, adding a layer of human depth to the scenic voyage. The majestic Murray River banks unfold slowly, flanked by lush red gum forests — every glance offers natural beauty, and every snap is a mood‑filled masterpiece.
It's also a treasure trove for family trips! Kids can try their hand at steering the paddle steamer, experiencing the joy of being a little captain, and receive a free personalised captain's certificate after the cruise, making the trip full of ceremony and achievement. A self‑service snack kiosk and a fully licensed bar are thoughtfully provided onboard — adults can enjoy a drink with river views while kids savour tasty treats, ensuring everyone has a relaxed and delightful time.

No complicated preparations needed — just board this century‑old riverboat to temporarily escape the city's hustle and relax on the azure waters of the Murray River. No rushed itinerary, only beautiful slow moments. Whether sharing quality time with family or discovering new thrills with friends, this wood‑fired paddle steamer journey on the Murray River will leave you with unforgettable and unique memories.
Set off for a date with a century‑old riverboat, and on the Murray River, encounter the dual beauty of scenery and history!
