The iconic MV Proud Mary is a boutique cruising vessel providing an intimate and friendly atmosphere, offering a true insight into South Australia’s picturesque outback. A modern vessel built to provide the ideal way to experience Australia’s most famous river, the River Murray. Departing from Murray Bridge, just one hour out of Adelaide, the Murray Expedition caters for a maximum of only 40 passe

ngers. This boutique product provides the ideal environment for passengers to explore, experience, indulge and discover. The well appointed bar, lounge and dining area provide the perfect location for indulging in the culinary delights of the resident chef, while viewing the passing Australian scenery. It has 3 deck levels, namely the River Deck, View Deck and Sun Deck. It boasts 18 spacious river-view cabins, each with a twin or double bed configuration. The vessel also has an intimate lounge and dining area with its own bar, where our passengers can order and enjoy a drink or two while cruising. The vessel, originally designed by naval architect Mr Peter James, was built in Berri, South Australia, on the banks of the River Murray by the Berri Ship building company in 1982. It was purposely built with a shallow draft, allowing the vessel to safely navigate shallow sections of the river. The original style of the vessel was taken from the Mississippi river cruisers. The first cruise was in August 1982 from Murray Bridge in South Australia. The proprietors have owned and operated the vessel since it was built. Proud Mary has been refurbished on a periodical basis since 1982. The vessel produces its own power from on-board generators and waste-water is stored on-board then removed when in port in accordance with environmental guidelines. Offering a 2 night Discovery Cruise and a 5 night Wildlife Expedition Cruise, plus Monday and Friday Lunch Cruises, Proud Mary caters to couples, families, groups and corporate bookings. To book online, simply visit: www.proudmary.com.au/cruise-calendar/ - or give call our booking hotline on 1800 677 683.

We are passionate about our place in preserving the rich history of the Murray.

Proud Mary was designed by Naval Architect, Mr. Peter James, and built by Ron Proud of the Berri Ship Building Company in 1981.

The vessel evokes the legendary Mississippi river cruisers and the paddle steamers that shaped the development of the Murray River and South Australia and that makes her extra special.
