Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival - Race Day Cruising Package

Description:

• The Race that stops a Nation! It's Melbourne Cup time again! The first Tuesday of November every year at 3.20pm is a wondrous time in Australia. The entire nation stops for the one horse race - the Melbourne Cup.

  Melbourne Cup has become an Aussie tradition. So too has Derby Day, held on the Saturday before Melbourne Cup, and the races that follow - Oaks Day, or better known as "Ladies Day", where ladies don their hats at the Flemington Spring Carnival. If there is just too much excitement for you on Melbourne Cup Day or you just cant get enough and need more, why not join these other very popular race festivities.

  Join the action by indulging in the fantastic day cruise to the races aboard a decorated cruiser docked outside the entrance gate, transfers to and from the races, gourmet food and beverages, on-board TV monitors, race guides and much more!

  Cruising is the most enjoyable and relaxing way to experience the Spring Racing Carnival. All vessels are fully enclosed, with panoramic viewing, sun decks and rest rooms. There is absolutely no need to queue for anything!
