A Memorable Step Back in Time.
Sun-soaked Echuca, up on the Murray River, is developing a reputation as the Relaxation Capital of Northern Victoria, and cruising aboard its prettiest paddlesteamer P.S. Emmylou, is fast becoming the quintessential river experience.
The “Emmy” prides herself that her a´ la carte menu and her wine list compares with the best of capital city restaurants.
A fully trained chef prepares all meals fresh in the onboard galley. You’ll delight in the lightness, subtlety and sophistication of the a´ la carte menu, which draws on first class locally grown produce. We combine beautiful food, the most fashionable of today’s cooking styles and fine regional wines to treat you to a memorable dining experience.
Elegance and style are the order of the day when it comes to catering for your stay onboard the Paddlesteamer Emmylou. Three carefully prepared meals a day whilst aboard, and each of these a potpourri of taste, texture and colour. Top local wines, plus a range of alternatives from the fully stocked licensed bar.
All this served to your table on the outer deck. while you enjoy a glowing rose and gold sunset, listen to the river birds’ evening chorus, then linger over dessert and coffee to watch the stars appear.
