The MV Arcadia II is a genuine one of a kind - the only Huon Pine river cruiser still operating anywhere in the world.
Built in 1939 and listed on the Australian Register of Historic Vessels, she has lived several lives before this one. A luxury pleasure craft in Hobart, a supply ship in New Guinea during the Second World War, a scallop boat off the east coast, then a Gordon River cruiser before she came to the Pieman in 1970.
Today she carries guests down the tannin-dark river toward the wild coast at Pieman Heads, moving at nine unhurried knots through some of the oldest rainforest on earth.
There is no better way to understand the Pieman than from her deck.
With the warmer months ahead, now is the time to plan a cruise. Peak season runs December to March, with cruises up to seven days a week. Book via corinna.com.au/river-cruises
