The Swan River makes its way through many of the city’s neighbourhoods before it reaches the Indian Ocean. The river takes you through the Swan Valley wine region, Perth’s Central Business District and affluent suburbs, and the port city of Fremantle. Enjoy the view and the breeze, have a meal, and stop once or twice for a wine tasting. Pick a cruise that is just right for you. Captain Cook Cruises is one of the most popular cruise operators. They sell a variety of tour packages, including ones that take you past the mansions in Millionaire’s Row or into the peaceful Swan Valley.
