Swan River Dinner Cruise Menu

The galley on board prepares each course during the voyage, with plating timed to the river's key landmarks between the city and Fremantle. Entrées typically feature local seafood—Shark Bay prawns, Leeuwin Coast mussels, or smoked salmon from the southern waters—alongside vegetarian starters built around seasonal produce from Perth Hills growers. Mains rotate but consistently include at least one Western Australian beef option, a sustainably sourced fish of the day, and a plant-based entrée that mirrors the complexity of the meat and seafood selections rather than serving as an afterthought. Vegetarian and vegan passengers receive equal attention in menu design. The kitchen prepares dedicated alternatives for each course, not simplified versions of the standard offerings. A typical vegetarian main might be a slow-roasted pumpkin Wellington with native pepperberry jus or a Jerusalem artichoke risotto finished with truffle oil, matching the portion size and presentation standard of the non-vegetarian plates. Dietary requirements beyond vegetarian—including gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy accommodations—are handled when flagged during the reservation process, ideally at least 48 hours before departure. Drinks packages are structured as optional upgrades and include a selection of Margaret River and Swan Valley wines, local craft beer, premium spirits, and non-alcoholic options. The standard package offers two hours of beverages from the house selection; a premium tier adds reserve wines and top-shelf spirits. Passengers may also purchase drinks individually from the bar throughout the cruise. The wine list emphasizes Western Australian vineyards, with Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon representing the region's signature styles. Non-drinkers have access to sparkling water, soft drinks, and specialty tea and coffee service included in the base fare. Desserts close the dining experience with options such as pavlova topped with seasonal berries, chocolate fondant with locally made ice cream, or a cheese selection from artisan producers in the South West region. The timing aligns dessert service with the return leg past the illuminated city skyline, creating a final course framed by the lights reflecting off the water. Coffee and tea service continues until docking at 21:30.
