Great Gatsby Boat Party | Melbourne 21 February 2026 (TONIGHT)

Great Gatsby Boat Party: Melbourne 21 February 2026

Melbourne… something ICONIC is about to set sail TONIGHT! 

This Saturday the 21st February 2026, we invite you to a Great Gatsby Boat Party in Melbourne like you’ve never seen before as we take over not one, but TWO of Melbourne’s most iconic boats: The Victoria Star Cruises & Lady Cutler Melbourne Showboat at the same time!

We’ve always dreamed of creating two completely different Gatsby experiences side by side; the elegance of a roaring 20s jazz lounge and the energy of a modern-day dance party. But on one boat, it’s just never been possible. That’s why this year we’re doing something totally new: for the first time ever, you get to choose your own party.

Whether you’re drawn to the classic glamour of live jazz, cocktails and burlesque, or the high-energy vibe of DJs, sax and showgirls, the choice is yours.

CHOOSE YOUR BOAT 
Here's a little sneak peek of what you can expect...

Lady Cutler Showboat: live 1920s jazz band, cocktail lounge vibes, and sultry burlesque shows that’ll take you straight back to the roaring twenties.

Victoria Star: DJs, live saxophone, roaming Gatsby showgirls, a huge dance floor with our modern spin on the 1920s.

AFTER PARTY
And the best part is, when the boats dock? The night isn’t over! We’re bringing everyone together for one HUGE after party from 10.45pm. Venue announced to ticket holders only via email a few days out from the party. 

Food Options
This isn’t your typical sit-down dinner cruise; instead, think sociable, share-friendly eats you can purchase designed to enjoy while you mingle, dance, and play.

Ready for a ROARING good time?
Tell your friends or treat that special someone. Pick your boat. Live your Gatsby fantasy.

This is Melbourne’s biggest ever Gatsby party and your chance to join us in making history together. An evening of sparkling glitz and glamorous fun awaits, as we dazzle, delight, and sweep you off your feet!
