Introducing PS Australian Star – A New Era in River Cruising

Experience a new world of luxury river cruising.

Step aboard the PS Australian Star and embark on a new chapter of river cruising—where heritage meets refined luxury, and every journey celebrates the spirit of Australia’s iconic waterways. Launching in December 2025, this exceptional paddlesteamer will redefine the Murray River experience with year-round, all-inclusive 3-, 4-, and 7-night itineraries departing from the historic port town of Echuca, Victoria.>

Named in honour of the celestial Southern Cross, the Australian Star is a tribute to the guiding light that has long been part of Australia’s cultural identity. Taking over from the much-loved PS Emmylou, this next-generation vessel carries forward the romance of the paddle steamer era while embracing the comforts of modern travel. Powered by an original 1907 wood-fired steam engine, her rhythmic paddlewheels and gentle steam evoke the golden age of river travel as you drift through ever-changing landscapes.

On board, discover 19 beautifully appointed staterooms, each with private ensuites, air-conditioning, luxury linens, and direct deck access. The Hopwood Lounge & Bar, named after Echuca’s enterprising founder, and the elegant Randell Dining Room, honouring river pioneer William Randell, offer immersive spaces rich in story and style. With Starlink Wi-Fi, regionally inspired cuisine, and impeccable service, every detail has been designed to offer an unforgettable connection to river, sky, and history.

More than a vessel, the PS Australian Star is a floating homage to Australia’s river heritage—reimagined for today’s discerning traveller. Join us for a journey where tradition shines, and luxury flows with the current.
