[SECTION]Spoil Mum This Year Because You Can[/SECTION]

Some very special Mother's Day Offerings are back in 2021, so why not take Mum's mind of the trials and tribulations of 2020 with one of these wonderful treats. Mum does so much for us, so often, it is easy to take her for granted. Mother's Day is our chance to say thank you. Thank you for being there through thick and thin, for going the extra mile even when she was exhausted, for caring when no one else cared.


Take some time to treat Mum to a relaxing and indulgent day and why not choose something a little different? A boat cruise, riding a steam train, exploring her creativity, relaxing meditation or the exquisite luxury of Melbourne's best hotels.


[SECTION]Mother's Day Lunch Cruise on the Yarra[/SECTION]

Mum will appreciate a day off from preparing the family meals on Mother's Day but imagine her delight if instead of the local restaurant, her dining experience is aboard the Spirit of Melbourne floating restaurant. The Spirit of Melbourne is a double-decked boat with floor to ceiling windows. Tables and facilities are as they would be in any restaurant of class.


Spend some quality family time while taking in some of Melbourne's most magnificent scenery, lush landscapes and elegant buildings, all while enjoying a wonderful meal.


Following entree, you will be hard-pressed to choose between the four main courses on offer which include such gourmet delicacies as Char-grilled chicken breast, garlic prawn on a bed of mashed potato, green bean and creamy green peppercorn sauce or Pan-fried Moroccan salmon avocado salsa, and caper mayonnaise. The children's menu offers two choices. The full menu is available on their website https://www.melbcruises.com.au/mother-s-day-lunch-cruise.html and your selections are made at the time of booking.

The main course is followed by a selection of mini desserts that need to be seen to be believed and tea or coffee served with a chocolate. Wine, beer, soft drink and orange juice are included and available in abundance.


Bookings are made on the website. The food is good, the service impeccable and the views stunning. What more could you ask for?
