Cruise & Lunch

A Grand Day Out

Now available in either the Atrium or the Dining Room offering you a greater choice

Available every day except Tuesday, choose your preferred seating time at Port Phillip Ferries 

The Grand Day Out Package has been revamped, offering even more flexibility than ever before. You can now choose between dining at the Atrium or the Dining Room at the Grand Hotel, each featuring distinct menus.

Previously exclusive to the Atrium, the package now extends to the Dining Room—a gorgeous restaurant located inside the hotel. With its warm ambiance, elegant design, and welcoming atmosphere, the Dining Room offers a delightful experience that is sure to leave you feeling warm and content.

The package begins with a leisurely cruise across Port Phillip Bay from Docklands aboard a modern fast ferry, arriving at the charming seaside town of Portarlington. Standing proudly on the main street since 1888, the historic Portarlington Grand Hotel has recently undergone a stunning renovation, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with modern luxury.
