FAQs about Christmas Party Cruises in Melbourne
What factors must I consider before hiring a Christmas party cruise in Melbourne?
Start by considering your guest count and cruise capacity—some boats seat 10, while larger vessels can host up to 170. Next, review the catering options. Many cruises offer packages, but if you’d prefer to bring your own food and drinks, choose a venue that allows flexibility. Additionally, think about the atmosphere– some cruises focus on luxury dining. Lastly, check out entertainment options. Look for cruises with built-in party features, like DJs, dance floors, or themed decor.
How much does it cost to hire Christmas party cruises in Melbourne?
Smaller, budget-friendly party boats start around $240 per session, while mid-range options range from $2,000 to $3,000. For luxury cruises with premium catering and entertainment, expect prices between $6,000 and $11,000 per session. Event packages typically cost $99 to $120 per guest, depending on the season, cruise duration, and inclusions. (All data from Tagvenue.)
What are some party ideas for a Christmas party on a cruise?
Start with a festive theme like 'Winter Wonderland' or 'Beach Christmas' and incorporate matching decorations. To keep the energy high, hire a DJ or live band for entertainment or even plan karaoke for guests to sing their favourite Christmas songs. A photo booth with holiday props adds fun, while a Secret Santa gift exchange or Christmas-themed trivia games keep everyone entertained. If the boat has an open deck, host a cocktail hour to enjoy Melbourne's stunning skyline.
