Melbourne's longest-running burlesque show, the Burlesque Showboat is not just a show – it's an experience.

From the moment you arrive at the dock, the excitement begins. You'll be greeted by the Captain and welcomed aboard with a glass of champagne. Over the course of the 3.5-hour cruise, you'll witness the stunning sights of Melbourne from the water, enjoy dancing to the DJ, and be dazzled by the glitz, glamour and tease of the signature burlesque show presented by Maison Burlesque in association with The Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat.

Cruise inclusions:
- A 3.5-hour cruise (including boarding and disembarking time)
- Live burlesque, cabaret and comedy show on the upper deck theatre
- DJ playing classic hits on the main deck
- Complimentary glass of champagne on arrival
- Cocktail package available
- Substantial hot and cold canapés served throughout the cruise
