Burlesque Showboat
Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat
131 Harbour Esplanades Docklands VIC
Presented by Maison Burlesque in association with The Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat
Melbourne’s longest-running Burlesque show, The Burlesque Showboat, is not just a show—it’s an experience!
From the moment you arrive at the dock, the excitement begins. You’ll be greeted by the Captain and welcomed aboard with a glass of champagne. Over the course of the 3.5-hour cruise, you’ll witness the stunning nighttime sights of Melbourne from the water, enjoy dancing to our DJ, and be dazzled by the glitz, glamour, and tease of our signature Burlesque show.
Departing from Central Pier, in the heart of Docklands’ entertainment precinct, you’ll enjoy a cruise along the Yarra River, past Melbourne’s iconic ports and shipping yards, and out into the bays of Williamstown and St Kilda.
Upon boarding, a glass of bubbly will be waiting for you as our roving waiters serve a selection of hot and cold canapés. Themed cocktails are available from Melbourne’s most exciting floating bar, all while you take in the breathtaking views from the deck! Our lower deck features a VIP lounge and DJ dance floor, while the upper deck hosts the main event—our spectacular Burlesque show, featuring Melbourne’s finest burlesque artists in a wickedly entertaining mix of live burlesque, cabaret, and comedy.
Dress Code: While dress-ups aren’t mandatory, adding a bit of flair will elevate your experience. Popular themes include Roaring 20s, Vintage Burlesque, Red & Black, Naughty Nautical, or simply Dressing to Impress!
