Melbourne Shuttles

Along one the shores of Port Phillip Bay, the Station Pier Cruise Ship Terminal is a beautiful way to greet South Australia. Be on deck the last few minutes before the ship arrives to the city’s skyline-wrapped coast for a vivid view of Tasmania from the outer bands of the Bass Strait. For a second chance at seeing the famous island, look forward to the port’s connected 19th-century pier that offers ferry rides to Devonport aboard the Spirit of Tasmania. Other fun modes of transportation include the Beacon Cove Light Rail’s extensive network throughout the city’s diverse neighborhoods ranging from the Docklands to Richmond. Get a more liberating look by booking a private vehicle instead, reserving a quaint sedan best for solo tours or an SUV perfect for carrying the whole family along, also considering meet-and-greet services to exchange that freedom with convenient drop offs via stretched limousines, taxis and local personal drivers.

Discover what the Victorian state capital is with a tour of Melbourne’s most charming landmarks, the closest to the cruise terminal being Port Melbourne Beach and its adjacent Port Melbourne Yacht Club. The beach-yacht region is a small but relaxed place to see the water pass, attached access to unique wooden boardwalks offering select views of the bay. Cool nearby restaurants include the all-day menu at Third Wave Cafe as well as contemporary Australian delights at the late-night Pier Port Melbourne. The start of a central greenbelt is also close to the port, not only through the coast’s Bay Trail and its connections to the scenic steps of the Beacon Cove Promenade but the historic wooden poles of Princes Pier. Continue further west to reach the distant downtown vistas of Sandridge Lookout at sunset, also considering a night ride into the Southbank neighborhood’s 24-hour gardens across the Kings Domain.
