Girls, girls, girls, this has to be the dining cruise with the most fun! A girls day out, kitchen teas, hens parties, baby showers, birthdays, charity events are all hosted on this cruise - a revival of a great British tradition with a uniquely Australian flavour.
The Cruise Director gets the party started with a glass of Brown Brother's pink bubbly which results in immediate and non-stop conversation. And then, there are not small food items - blinis topped with prawns, whole chocolate coated strawberries, mini savoury pastries and much, much more.
The female gender will always be one of life's great mysteries and I have always been partial to a good mystery. All aboard for High Tea at Sea. Ladies and gentlemen your tea is served with a delicious selection of hot and cold treats that will tempt both your sweet and savoury tastes.
