Nice easy ride over to Williamstown, a little away from the hassle and bustle of Melbourne CBD. A very steady ride for those who are weary on water rides like myself, the ferry is wide enough and river very much calm so it would not trigger any seasickness. For those who purchase tickets in advance, do note to head to the booth at Berth 2 to retrieve a physical ticket. Personally that was a bit unclear for us when we booked the tickets with a travel app.
Melbourne City is a fantastic city. Easy to get around with the trams, these are free within the cbd, & very little outside of the cbd, will take you anywhere you need to go. Easy to follow routes. City tram goes around the perimeter of the city which is free at all times, is very easy hop on hop off and will get you close to all major sights. Reccomend Melbourne +++
The commentary on the boat was excellent learntvquite a lot about the river especially the early days of Melbourne and the tragedy of the west gate bridgr
What a delightful cruise with friendly, helpful crew and a very informative narrative along the way. Complimentary tea and coffee was a nice touch. The cruise was an hour each way, and we choose a 2 hour stop over in Williamstown which was plenty of time for sightseeing and a bite to eat. We can highly recommend this cruise.
It was a hot Sunday long weekend. Boat did not run to advertised times making it difficult to meet our other bookings for the day
