Tour description
A journey along the River Murray is one of Australia’s most memorable travel experiences, and our 5-night Proud Mary cruise offers the perfect way to enjoy it. Stretching an astonishing 3,700 kilometres, the Murray is ranked alongside the Mississippi, Nile and Amazon for its scale and significance. As you glide along its peaceful waterways, you’ll be surrounded by striking limestone cliffs, red gum forests and a rich diversity of native birdlife and wildlife. With a maximum of just 36 passengers, the Proud Mary provides an intimate and relaxed cruising experience, where you can unwind in comfort while taking in the ever-changing scenery.
Your holiday begins with a flight into Adelaide, followed by a city tour and lunch before boarding the vessel at Murray Bridge. Each day brings something new to discover—from guided nature walks with an onboard ecologist and a scenic small-boat cruise through hidden lagoons, to a nocturnal tour beneath floodlights and a visit to the historic township of Swan Reach. You’ll also explore the remarkable Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Conservation Area, learning about the region’s cultural heritage. After disembarking, enjoy a final night of 5-star accommodation in Adelaide with a tour of the Adelaide Hills, Mt Lofty and the charming village of Hahndorf. Thoughtfully paced and wonderfully scenic, this cruise offers a beautiful blend of nature, history and the simple pleasure of watching the river unfold before you.

Testimonials
Ladies and Gentlemen, Our recent tour to Merimbula and the Sapphire Coast was enjoyable. We wish to have recorded our special thanks to John T, the driver of the week. Not only steered us through thick and thin but changed his hat throughout the days to become maitre de plaisir, Tea and Coffee director, Seniors supervisor, time keeper, convenience spotter, luggage handler and so the list goes on and on. John is a credit to the Company !!
Best regards, Helga
Re: Batemans Bay Hi Debbie, We have just returned from a 4-day trip to Bateman’s Bay with with Jimmy as our driver. I wanted to email to tell you how good he was. He was so friendly and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble, and his help / support of our older Ex-Servicemen and their wives was outstanding. He was also very interested in out stories which was lovely. I know we always get that level of service from OnCourse, and wanted you to know that it continued with Jimmy. He was so articulate on the microphone and always had some interesting bits of information about where we were or where we were near. The weather on our trip could have been better, but he did his best, moved things around, found places for us to stop in the rain, and always with a smile on his face and made the trip so enjoyable. His handling of the coach was also something we all commented on. Once again, another lovely trip away, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go on any trip Jimmy was involved in.
