Captain Cook
Cruises South Australia & The
Murray River
 The
Murray River is to Australia what the Nile River is to
Egypt: a great and ancient river system that has shaped
the past and the present and will continue into the
future as a national icon.
There’s
no better way to see the Murray River and a slice of the
hauntingly beautiful and dramatic Australian outback,
its unique flora and fauna, and the rich legacy of old
riverside ports and indigenous culture close up than to
drift unhurried and quietly under the power of the
paddle-wheeler PS Murray Princess.
Captain
Cook Cruises offers a unique historic and nature-based
adventure, through some of the driest parts of the
driest continent, past mallee scrub, stands of grey and
silver river gums, red gum forests, towering gorges and
ochre-colored limestone cliffs, pristine wetlands,
historic and quiet townships and ports, lush vineyards,
orchards, locks and big river bends.
You can
hike around a boardwalk trail, or take a guided nature
walk, or take a small boat safari of the wetlands, or
visit a riverside village, or take a nocturnal eco-tour
before a riverside barbeque, or sample some of the local
produce, or take a camera and catch some memorable
scenes of the abundant birdlife.
PS
Murray Princess
PS
Murray Princess is a true inland paddlewheeler, purpose
built for the Murray River. She is faithfully designed
as a modern romantic representative of a time when
hundreds of such vessels plied the river. Unlike most
modern-day
 river vessels with imitation paddles, Murray
Princess is propelled by an authentic, massive stern
paddlewheel.
Accommodating just 120 passengers, Murray Princess
brings the unique advantages of small ship cruising to
the Murray River. The Captain and crew know the river
intimately and are delighted to share with you their
knowledge and stories. The lounges and dining saloon are
spacious with a character and charm of yesteryear. Grand
in name, yet relaxed and informal by nature, Murray
Princess fosters a warmth and friendliness unique to the
river.
