PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIACruising upon the river seven days a week, Kookaburra River Queens is a name familiar to most Brisbanites. These cruises are often utilised for functions and parties where guests are treated to a memorable experience aboard a luxury authentic paddlewheeler. As you take in the best views Brisbane has to offer, enjoy the changing city sights by day or night. A themed cruise takes place each month, past winners being the Sex and the City cruise, featuring a mall, clairvoyant and cocktails, and also the Rockin’ with Elvis cruise, for those who still love the king.
Whether it’s a romantic seafood dinner, a wedding or a corporate conference, Kookaburra River Queens can cater for your event. Combining elegant dining, live entertainment and undeniably the most breathtaking views of Brisbane, Kookaburra River Queens offers a fully licensed bar and buffet facilities. The seafood buffet features fresh Queensland seafood, a carvery, salads, antipasto platters, cheeses and desserts. During the day the Kookaburra River Queens provide wine and cheese or Devonshire tea cruises, where Captain Cole whips out his piano accordion, puts on the charm and woos his guests with his old school tunes. To encourage a family atmosphere, children under four years old are free while those up to the age of 12 dine for half price. Children are delighted by the dessert buffet, but most of all by the experience of being on a cruise of the harbour.
