Murray River Queen

PV Murray River Queen is an Australian paddle vessel built at Hindmarsh Island in 1974 as a luxury passenger cruise boat.

For many years, her home port was Goolwa where she offered week-long cruises operated by her builders, the Veenstra family.

Murray River Queen retired from regular service in 1993, and spent ten years initially as a floating hotel at Goolwa,[1] then being stored near Mannum.

In 2003, she was moved to Waikerie, South Australia, running dinner cruises and occasional longer trips until 2012.

In June 2021, D Neale became the new owner of Murray River Queen, and the rooms onboard the vessel were soon restored.
