To ensure the tour is enjoyable for you and others in the group, a reasonable standard of fitness and mobility is required. You must be able to walk unaided for 30 minutes and be able to manage your own suitcase. A suitcase with wheels is a big advantage. On board the Proud Mary you must be able to manage stairs to move about the vessel.

Proud Mary

Recently refurbished, the Proud Mary offers a comfortable and welcoming river-cruising experience. Enjoy a drink on the spacious open decks or relax in the intimate lounge and dining areas. The Captain’s commentary may inspire a visit to the onboard resource centre, where a range of books provides deeper insight into the region. Guests can make use of complimentary canoes to explore nearby backwaters, or try a spot of fishing with reels and bait available.

The Proud Mary features 18 spacious ensuite river-view cabins, each with individually controlled air-conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, a private bathroom and a hair dryer. The Wheelhouse is open to all passengers, offering the chance to chat with the Captain or even take the wheel.

Designed by naval architect Peter James and built in 1981 by Ron Proud of the Berri Ship Building Company, the vessel’s shallow draft allows it to navigate the river’s narrower, shallower sections safely. Its classic styling pays homage to the Mississippi riverboats and the paddle steamers that once played a vital role in shaping the development of the Murray River region and South Australia in the 1800s.
