We almost skipped Melbourne before our cruise — and that would have been a huge mistake. Before flying to Sydney to embark on a 12-night New Zealand cruise aboard Celebrity Edge, we spent the day exploring Melbourne, Australia, and quickly realized how wrong we were to underestimate this city. From renting a GoBoat on the Yarra River, passing under Melbourne’s iconic bridges, dealing with unpredictable weather, and even losing a brand-new pair of sunglasses in the river 😬 — this day turned into one of the most memorable parts of our trip. In this video, we share: ✔️ What it’s really like to explore Melbourne before a cruise ✔️ Whether the Yarra River GoBoat experience is worth it ✔️ Food stops, city views, and unexpected surprises ✔️ Honest thoughts on what cruise travelers should (and shouldn’t) do If you’re cruising from Australia or planning a pre-cruise stay in Melbourne, this video will help you decide if it’s worth adding to your itinerary. 👉 Watch next: Flying to Sydney to board Celebrity Edge and tour our Edge Villa Suite for our New Zealand cruise 🚢 Thanks for traveling with us!
