Family day out - We had visitors arrive and decided to take them on the Brisbane River Cruise. We all thoroughly enjoyed the cruise with the morning tea which was proved and then lunch at the Breakfast Creek Hotel. I had never been on the Brisbane River and enjoyed the commentary of some of Brisbane's landmarks.

Brisbane River Cruise and lunch - My wife and I had a great day out in Brisbane. We had originally booked the cruise for the week before, but given the poor weather forecast for that day, we arranged to postpone it to the following week. River City Cruises were very helpful and rearranged the booking without any issues. The cruise was relaxing and informative with a great morning tea provided of scones with jam, cream and strawberries and tea and coffee facilities. We had a great lunch at the Breakfast Creek Hotel. The staff on the MV Neptune were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a great day out in Brisbane.
