Cruise Aboard the PS Emmylou

The PS Emmylou is reminiscent of romantic days when paddle steamers were the river transport of choice. Built to replicate 19th-century paddle steamers, this Australian icon has been designed to take guests down memory lane, without compromising on modern comforts. The vessel accommodates just 16 guests in eight deluxe cabins, offering boutique cruising at its finest.
