Wyndham Cruises Launches Spirit of Elston
A brand new vessel is now plying the waterways of Gold Coast, Queensland following the launch of Wyndham Cruises’ multimillion-dollar, purpose-built dining vessel, Spirit of Elston.
The new vessel replaces the company’s current vessel, the MV Entertainer, which has operated on the Gold Coast waterways since the 1980s, and is a first of its kind on Gold Coast waters, according to Wyndham Cruises general manager, Dean Griffin.
“The boat has been customized from the inside out, purposefully designed for on-board dining and structured to fit under Gold Coast bridges, which showcases the best views of the Surfers Paradise skyline,” Griffin said.
Brought to life by Gold Coast designer Karen Nielsen, the boat’s interior emulates a modern-chic, nautical theme, with features including a marble bar, handmade décor and sleek wooden flooring. The upper deck reflects a relaxing, garden atmosphere with astroturf, lounges and a pop-up bar.
Catering for up to 200 passengers (150 on the upper deck), the Spirit of Elston’s daily departures include a morning sightseeing cruise, buffet lunch cruise with local trawler prawns, afternoon explorer cruise and the new three-course a la carte dinner cruise, which commences on October 27.
