FAQ

The Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat is built to Lloyds A1 Safety Standards and is completely safe and enclosed for cruising in all weather conditions, literally rain, hail or shine! We have been operating for over 10 years and have never had any safety issues and have never cancelled a cruise due to weather conditions.

Train - Southern Cross Station
Tram - Stop D2 Central Pier and Harbour Esplanade (Route 35, 70, 75)
Car - Etihad Stadium, Central Pier, Wilson Parking

Yes, however parking options are very limited in Docklands. There is Valet Parking on Central Pier for between $20 - $40, there is very limited meter parking on surrounding streets. There is also paid parking at Etihad Stadium.

Cruising downriver under the Bolte and Westgate Bridges into Williamstown, Port Melbourne and then into the Bay to see the views of Melbourne and its sea side suburbs. We will take you to places you have never been before, to see from the water the Spirit of Tasmania and Station Pier, the yachts at St Kilda jetty and the boat houses of Brighton Beach, as well as Webb and Swanson Docks, to view the activities of the large container ships.

Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat is licensed to carry up to 367 passengers including crew.

The Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat is a large stable vessel and our cruise will tour the smooth waters of the rivers and the calm bays. It is extremely unlikely that you will suffer from any form of motion sickness, in fact in 9 - 10 years of cruise not one guest has been motion sick. Occasionally you would feel it moving but is very unlikely to get rocky!

Yes, however decorations must not create any excessive mess and must not damage the vessel. Balloons, Ribbons etc are allowed, but No CREPE STREAMERS, NO SPIDER WEB as it stays on carpet.

You have two hour bump in prior to the boarding time to set up entertainment and decoration. Please advise one of our staff about your preferred set up and pick up times in advance. You can park your vehicle in front of the vessel when unloading the equipment, but all vehicles need to be removed as soon as unloaded. Please note that no vehicle access to the vessel after 6pm.

July 2015

They were fantastic. I had a few things go wrong beforehand and had to postpone the wedding for two years. They held on to my deposit until I was ready to rebook the date.
