Had a wonderful time, pity it wasn't longer. Skipper (Warren) and his crew looked after all our needs - especially the eating experience. Thinking about booking the 7 day cruise on the Australian Star. We were in the Emmylou suite (12 sq metres), which was fine for us, but others said they were quite cramped in their rooms (6.5 sq metres) - maybe the cabins will be bigger in the new boat.

After maybe 5 or 6 previous cruises on Emmylou varying from an hour to 4 or 5 days since the mid 80's, this cruise offered way more off boat experiences. True this one offered only one full relaxed day enjoyed without a reason to disembark, meandering along the Murray amidst the background of untamed nature & the rhythmic sound of the paddlewheel caressing the current. True the vertical bunk beds and midnight walks to the on-deck toilet room are now a distant past memory. However, the food and convivial atmosphere remains a constant unforgettable and valued small group experience where strangers became trusted friends buoyed by sharing wonderful experiences, past and present!

We so enjoyed our sailing on the PS Emmylou on the Murray River.  It will be one of our fondest memories of a most fabulous experience.  Not only the sailing, but the way we were looked after by all staff, who were very kind and helpful, and also very generous in sharing their knowledge of the Murray River, the flora and fauna, the workings of the paddle steamer, history of the paddle steamers etc.  The chef created fabulous meals every day, and the front of house made mean cups of coffee! Thank you PS Emmylou River Cruise!  We cannot recommend this trip highly enough.  Go and do it!

We really enjoyed a relaxing 4 days on a serene river cruise, with excellent 5 star service and a fascinating insight into the history of the 170 year old paddle-steamer EmmyLou. It was extremely comfortable in our QB ensuite cabin and the delicious food was cooked on board each day- scones and jam/cream, seafood, steak, pasta - every dish was really yummy. Take time out amongst the red river gums and quietly flowing river to go bird watching and just relaxing. Capt Scott was a wonderful skipper, and Ross Harris gave us a great side trip to Blasted Point, on a smaller boat. There are plenty of side trips to do each day, and fireside singing at night. Highly recommended!

The EmmyLou experience was excellent. A great way to relax and unwind whilst being pampered by the professional and courteous staff.

Just facts: We booked this cruise and noted that the contract we signed said that, in the event of Murray River Paddlesteamers cancelling the cruise, we would receive a full refund. Our tour was cancelled because of flooding along the river. People on shorter tours were immediately refunded in full. The company refused to refund money on four-night cruises, offering us instead the option of a transfer to a future date. We are in our seventies, not rich and live in the U.K. We can’t be sure of having the money or the health to return to Australia at some unknown point in the future. When we pointed this out, they told us to contact our insurance company. Our insurance company were not sure whether they would be able to pay out because the problem was caused by a natural disaster. They referred us to our credit card company. The credit card company refunded our money in full. We won’t be recommending Murray River Paddlesteamers to anyone in the future!

Was it the majestic PS Emmylou herself, was it the commentary, fabulous Staff, amazing food, accommodation or the activities for the passengers that gets 150 out of 100. Not sure but I do know you cant improve on perfection. Dont put this Cruise on your bucket list JUST GET OUT THERE AND DO IT. Cruise from Koondrook to Echuca and enjoy
