What you can expect

Embark on a sightseeing cruise along Port Philip Bay to Williamstown. Take in the views of the Melbourne skyline and enjoy insightful audio commentary on board as you sail down the Yarra River.

Admire the skyline of Melbourne from a different perspective as you listen to the informative audio commentary. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre and soak up the sun on the sun deck. Upon arrival in Williamstown, get the choice to take a break in Williamsport and visit the historic seaport, or stay on board and return to Melbourne.

Linger in one of the cafés or galleries of Williamstown, known for its heritage buildings such as Customs House. If you choose to take the return option, then just sit back and relax on one of the finest bay cruises on the return journey to Southbank.

Turned up to Jetty nice and early. It was deserted ! No staff, no ferry no nothing. It was a public holiday but there was no notification that ferries wouldn’t be running. Disappointing considering we had already purchased our tickets a month ago

Slow river cruise to Williamstown under the low bridges and a very rewarding and relaxing journey Ideal location for lunch we didn’t venture to the beach but speaking to locals on our return they advised it is one of the better ones locally

I had a disappointing experience with The City and Williamstown Ferry Cruise, round trip on Saturday, April 20. through Get Your Guide. I purchased 4 tickets for my family, excited for a day cruising and enjoying sights at Williamstown. However, my excitement turned to frustration. The activity description on the platform promised a 3 hours duration for the cruise, including a one hour stop at Williamstown. This was a key factor in my decision to book despite there was cheaper options available. Upon arriving at the ticket booth for the 3 p.m. cruise, we were informed that there would be no stop at Williamstown as advertised. Instead, it was just a round trip with no chance to disembark. This clear discrepancy between the description and the actual experience was highly disappointing, the activity was then 2 hours round trip without stopping! When I tried to address this issue with the on-site ticket seller, I encountered rudeness and unhelpfulness as he said no refund could be issued.
