Day 2. Sat 6 Nov: Murray Princess
In 1879 the first bridge to span the Murray River was built at Edwards Crossing, which quickly became the bustling township of Murray Bridge. After a hearty breakfast, choose to explore the town’s historic landmarks and local attractions, such as the Roundhouse. Back on board in the Sturt Dining Room, enjoy a special presentation on the bounty of food and wine produced in the Riverland. This afternoon, we continue our journey upriver and tonight we moor at Salt Bush Flat. After dinner, enjoy being entertained by our on-board musician. *Optional morning tour: Monarto Safari Park Wildlife Tour. Pre-bookings - additional cost.

Day 3. Sun 7 Nov: Murray Princess
This morning, join a guided nature walk where our guide will share the secrets of the local flora and fauna. It’s a great way to get in a little exercise before the Murray Princess departs and cruises downriver. Near Fromms Landing, we turn and head downriver to River View Lodge (near Piggy Flat / Coolcha) where our discovery vessel awaits for a wildlife tour. Travelling in small, personalised groups, we explore the maze of the river and the birdlife is amazing. Watch for darters, herons and egrets feeding along the river’s muddy edges. The afternoon offers a choice of bocce or fishing challenges before a delicious final night dinner in the Sturt Dining Room.
Daily: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 4. Mon 8 Nov: Mannum - Loxton - Berri
We head back to Mannum and after breakfast, we reluctantly say farewell as we arrive at the Mannum Wharf.

In Loxton, we tour The Pines and learn about Ella Kingdon’s family history and her gift to the community. We then travel to Berri, checking into the Berri Hotel Motel for a twonight stay. After check-in, enjoy a stroll along the Murray River before gathering for dinner in the Riverview Bistro.
