Group Bookings

For groups of 16 people or more

Cruise Information

Book your group onto one of our lunch, high tea or dinner cruises for a relaxing day or night on the Brisbane River. Our cruises are perfect for all occasions, where a larger space is required but without the extra function costs.

Our group bookings are given priority boarding, larger tables and convenient booking terms, to ensure your group event will be organised with ease.

Choose what will suit your group best, with the option of two packages:

  • River Cruise including: Full cruise with all food included & live entertainment or;
  • Ultimate River Cruise including: Full cruise with all food included & live entertainment PLUS Ultimate Beverage Package with selected cocktails, spirits, beers, wines, and more!

If you are looking for something a little more exclusive for your group, we also offer VIP Dining Packages and Private Functions.

Call us today on 07 3221 1300 or complete the enquiry form below and one of our experienced group coordinators will be in contact to help you with your next event.

How it works:

For groups of 16 people or more, your booking can be secured by calling our office, choosing your date and paying a 20% deposit. You’re then booked in. As we understand things may change and collecting money from your group can take time, this is why you don’t have to finalise your payment until 14 days prior to your cruise date. For groups of 15 people or less, bookings can be made online and payment is required in full at time of booking.

Do you offer group discounts?

As our cruises are already incredible value for money with all food and beverages included, we don’t offer group discounts, however, if anyone in your group is a senior/student*, child or infant, please let us know as they do travel at discounted rates.


Can everyone in our group pay separately?

Unfortunately, our booking system does not allow for separate payments. If your group is all paying separately, we ask that you nominate one person in your group to collect the money from everyone, and then that person pays us in one transaction.


Do you supply decorations?

No, decorations are not something that we supply, but you are most welcome to bring your own on-board. If you are bringing decorations on board please keep in mind that you are in a public dining room, these must be able to fit onto your table and not obstruct any other guests. The only restriction we do have on decorations is that we DO NOT allow confetti or candles (battery operated are accepted) or any inappropriate decorations. If you are planning to bring any decorations on board please advise your Groups Co-ordinator so that they can arrange priority boarding for you that will allow you to hop on board as soon as the vessel is open so that you can decorate your table.


Can we do speeches?

Speeches (unamplified) can be made at your table/s or if there is an entertainer on board, we would love to organise a ‘shout out’ (eg. “Happy 40th Birthday Zoe”) for you. Please let your Groups Co-Ordinator know what you would like to have.


Can we choose which boat we want to be on?

You can most certainly make a request if you have a preference of boat or level, however as this is not a private booking this cannot be guaranteed. Boat allocations are not usually finalised until the week of the cruise and are determined based on a number of factors such as numbers, mobility needs of guests etc. We do try our best to cater to requests where possible, but this cannot be guaranteed.


Do we get our own private area?

This is not a private area, you do have your own allocated table/s in our dining area and just like any other restaurant, there are other guests seated in the dining room. If you choose to book one of these options, we ask that you please keep this mind when planning any decorations or speeches. If you are wanting something more private for your group, head over to our private events page (click through link) for more event options.


Can some of our group choose the River Cruise and some choose the Ultimate Cruise?

Unfortunately, it is not possible for your table to have some guests with the Ultimate drinks package and some guests without. We do understand that there may be circumstances where one person in your group cannot drink (i.e. pregnant, or does not drink etc.). If this is the case, all guests can choose the cruise only option and purchase drinks throughout the cruise from our bar.
