A One-Of-A-Kind Floating Venue Awaits You!
Looking for Adelaide Fringe venue hire with a difference? Port River Cruises offers a floating performance venue on the Port River in Port Adelaide, South Australia. During the Adelaide Fringe, our 100-seater vessel transforms into an intimate space for live shows, comedy, music and art while cruising along the river.
With waterfront views, a relaxed atmosphere and the occasional visit from Port River dolphins, artists can create a memorable show on the water. Port River Cruises will return as a bookable Fringe venue in 2027. Explore the venue on FringeTIX or contact our team to discuss your performance.
Port River Cruises offers a unique floating performance space aboard our 100-seater vessel (90-passenger limit), perfect for artists seeking a memorable Fringe experience on the water. The vessel features two decks: a covered lower deck with river views and an upper deck that’s also covered but open to the river views with roll-up clear blinds. There is also a small, uncovered deck out the back.
We provide all seating, a microphone and speaker system (artists please feel free to bring your own system), plus a licensed bar serving drinks and snack food. Qualified skippers, deckhands, and bar staff are included so artists can focus on their show.
Available for daylight performances only, the cruise travels along the scenic Port River, and can be accompanied by our famous dolphins. This intimate and flexible space suits music, comedy, cabaret, storytelling, visual arts, dining or workshops, offering artists a relaxed and atmospheric venue that’s truly one-of-a-kind in Adelaide.
Whether you’re an artist looking for an unforgettable setting or a Fringe-goer seeking something out of the ordinary, Port River Cruises offers an experience that’s creative, captivating, and uniquely Adelaide.
