Melbourne is the capital of Australian state, Victoria and also the business, administrative, cultural and recreational hub of the state. If you are visiting Melbourne, serviced apartments that are centrally located make for an ideal home away from home. The city is a pleasant blend of charming old buildings and striking modern architectural creations. The city exudes an infectious energy with its bustling restaurants, high fashion boutiques, café lined streets, trendy bars, imposing galleries and rambling parks.
Flowing through the city’s heart and taking centre stage is the Yarra River. A river cruise along The Yarra comes highly recommended by The Somerset on Elizabeth Melbourne, who believe there is no better way to take in the city’s iconic landmarks. The multitude of picturesque settings it presents make for the backdrop of many bars and restaurants that are located on its banks. The Yarra also regularly plays host to community events including the famous Moomba festival, regattas, the Melbourne Festival and Dragon Boat Festivals. The Yarra Valley Region, which surrounds one area of the river is the home of Victorian wine. Wine making in the State of Victoria was first born in this very place.
Melbourne’s cruise operators offer every type of cruising experience imaginable, allowing one to take in the city’s beauty from a different perspective. Memorable occasions and celebratory events no longer need to take place on solid ground, they can be made extra special by taking the entire party out on the water and sailing through the heart of Melbourne. Dinner cruises combine delectable food and wine with a spectacularly romantic setting. Educational experiences can also be more fun with informative tours that are offered to school kids of the city’s important buildings and places. Special cruises are also available to celebrate holiday events like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
