NOVA Cruises – Historic Morpeth Cruise
Overview
Welcome aboard the Historic Morpeth Cruise – Bay Connections 1 with NOVA Cruises.
Morpeth, situated on the banks of the Hunter River, was once the gateway to inland Australia and one of the busiest trade ports in NSW. Today you can re-live the historic paddle steam route with the modern day comforts of air conditioning and a licensed bar.
Starting in Newcastle Harbour, heading upstream on the Hunter River, the Hexham bridge is lifted for passage before continuing to Morpeth. Spend 1-1.5 hours in Morpeth’s authentic historic village, shop and grab a bite to eat before reboarding for your return journey.
Keep a lookout for whales or dolphins on your cruise, you might spot one or two.
You only need to read some of the reviews to know this one is a winner.
