Murder Mystery Event on board PS Murray Princess

 

Immerse yourself in the spirit of Agatha Christie’s timeless masterpiece as you enjoy an interactive murder mystery break on board the PS Murray Princess.

Begin this unique holiday experience in Adelaide, with a hotel stay and two memorable tours. On a day tour in the Barossa Valley, you’ll sample award-winning wines and explore quaint Hahndorf, Adelaide’s oldest German settlement. You’ll also join a two-day tour on Kangaroo Island.

In Mannum, you’ll embark the paddlewheeler PS Murray Princess, for your cruise along the historic Murray River. Highlights include wine tastings at a boutique winery and explorations of Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Reserve, as well as wondrous wildlife experiences during nocturnal tours and a scenic tender boat ride.

This marvellous river cruise will be even more unique and unforgettable, however, as you’ll be immersed in an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery complete with interactive characters, clues, evidence, and a fiendishly clever plot. Experience glamour, luxury, thrills, and excitement as you piece together clues from professional actors to correctly unmask the murderer in your midst.

It's all the little things.

The Murray Princess is a true inland paddle wheeler built for the Murray River, with a character and charm of yesteryear. It is the largest inland paddlewheeler in the southern hemisphere. Catering for just 120 passengers, she brings the unique advantages of small ship cruising to the remarkable setting of Australia’s outback.

Don't be fooled by most modern-day imitation paddlewheelers where the paddle is often on the side and just for show. The Murray Princess is an authentic paddlewheeler which is propelled by its massive stern wheel. The onboard atmosphere is relaxed and informal by style. The lounge features a majestic view of the paddlewheel in action through the two-story viewing window. Upper and lower lounge areas are accessed by the classic brass and mahogany style spiral staircase.

The Murray Princess cruises between Mannum, Murray Bridge and Salter's Station along the Murray River. The wetlands in this area provide essential breeding and feeding habitats for many species of waterbirds, fish, invertebrates and plants, meaning that you'll see the wonderful wildlife in this outback setting.
