Excellent trip and a great way to see Brisbane - It was an excellent trip, the vessel was clean, the scones were delicious and the presentation at the Breakfast Creek Hotel over lunch was a bonus. I would highly recommend the cruise and the staff of both the cruise line and the Breakfast Creek Hotel.

Great birthday fun - We had a lovely time onboard. The scones were delicious and very generous. The commentary was excellent and informative Being with someone who has a bit of difficulty walking g the length of the walk to lunch was a bit more than anticipated so that stressed her out. The experience and meal was fun and delicious. Spraying my husband with beer on his birthday was quite fun. Despite the extra walking this eas very worthwhile and value for money

Great views and great food - Great value for money, lovely food and a lovely way to see the city. I went solo and it was easy to find company, the space on the boat doesn’t really allow for solo travellers to have a table to themself.
