As the sun dips low over the Lower Murray, the PS Oscar W offers an unforgettable two-hour twilight cruise departing from the River Port Heritage Centre at the historic Goolwa Wharf Precinct. Step aboard this beautifully restored 1908 wood-fired paddle steamer and enjoy a relaxed evening on the water, surrounded by golden skies, gentle breezes and river reflections.
Bring your own nibbles, drinks or a bottle of wine to share, and settle into the timeless charm of steam-powered travel. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a family outing or seeking a unique riverside experience, this cruise is the perfect way to unwind and connect.
Hear stories of the region's rich riverboat history through a friendly onboard commentary, and help yourself to complimentary tea and coffee as you relax into the rhythm of the river. Every cruise is delivered with the heartfelt hospitality of our passionate volunteers from The Friends of the Oscar W—a dedicated not-for-profit preserving this working piece of maritime history for all to enjoy.
Departure times vary seasonally to capture the best twilight moments. Book early—this cruise fills quickly.
