MasterChef winner, Julie Goodwin, will be working with Captain Cook Cruises once again with the release of her third four-night Murray River Celebrity Cook Cruise, departing Monday, 9th March 2015.
Julie will be holding three cooking demonstrations on board the paddlewheeler Murray Princess and hosting a three course dinner for passengers. The dinner menu will be selected by Julie and prepared by the Captain Cook Cruises’ kitchen.
Julie first hosted a specialist Cruise with Captain Cook Cruises in 2013 and again in 2014 and according to Richard Doyle, Head of Sales and Marketing at Captain Cook Cruises, the decision to invite Julie back on Murray Princess for a third cruise was an easy one.
“We are delighted to welcome Julie back for her third Murray River cruise in March 2015. Julie’s previous cruises were such a huge success it was any easy decision to have her return for a third.”
“Past passengers made it very clear how much they loved Julie’s food and wanted her to return. The opportunity to meet and chat informally with Julie throughout the cruise was a major highlight.” Continues Mr Doyle.
Julie is looking forward to the cruise.
“I had such a great time cooking on the paddle wheeler, PS Murray Princess, when I was asked to do a third cooking cruise I immediately said yes. I’m looking forward to meeting even more passengers on this cruise and having a lot of fun cooking in the kitchen with them. I also can’t wait to return to the beautiful Murray River.” Says Julie Goodwin.
From past experience Captain Cook Cruises warns that the cruise may sell out quickly, and booking early is recommended.
“With only 120 places available, the 2014 cruise sold extremely fast. Food and wine lovers wishing to combine their passion with a visit to the Murray River and the opportunity to meet Julie Goodwin, will need to be quick.” Says Mr Doyle.
The four night Murray River cruise allows passengers to discover the beauty, history and culture of the Murray River between Mannum and Blanchetown, South Australia.
Each day features exciting day trips to historic river ports, Aboriginal archaeological sites, a working sheep station and woolshed, a native wildlife shelter and vineyard and cellar door tasting.
The scenery is picturesque as the Murray Princess cruises past towering limestone cliffs, through ancient gorges and along riverbanks lined with mallee scrub and red gum forests.
