Proud Mary
MV Proud Mary (formerly Murray Expedition) is a boutique cruising vessel providing an intimate and friendly atmosphere, offering a true insight into South Australia's Outback.
A modern vessel built to provide the ideal way to experience Australia's most famous river, The River Murray.
Departing from Murray Bridge, just one hour out of Adelaide, the Murray Expedition caters for a maximum of only 40 passengers, this boutique product provides the ideal environment for passengers to explore, experience, indulge and discover. The well appointed bar, lounge and dining area provide the prefect location for indulging in the culinary delights of the resident chef, while viewing the passing Australian scenery.
It has 3 deck levels namely the River Deck, View Deck & Sun Deck. It boasts 18 spacious riverview cabins, each with a twin or double bed configuration. The vessel also has an intinate lounge and dining area with its own bar, where our passengers can order and enjoy a drink or two while cruising.
The vessel orginally designed by Mr Peter James, a Naval Architect, was built in Berri, South Australia on the banks of the River Murray, by the Berri Ship building company in 1982. It was purposely built with a shallow draft, allowing the vessel to safely navigate shallow sections of the river. The orignal style of the vessel was taken from the Mississippi river cruisers.
The first cruise was in August 1982 from Murray Bridge in South Australia. The proprietors have owned & operated the vessel since it was built. Proud Mary has been refurbished on a periodical basis since 1982. The vessel produces its own power from onboard generators and wastewater is stored onboard then removed when in port in accordance with environmental guidelines.
