This year, the iconic Popeye 1 Cruise Boat became a floating artwork in celebration of philanthropist James Ramsay’s birth, and I was privileged to perform on this new incarnation. It would be remiss not to praise the Popeye team for all they achieved over the festival period and, indeed, continue to do so throughout the year. The festival Dream Boat cruise is a fringe mainstay. Presented by Endless Grooves, this is a must for young music lovers who like to move and groove as the boat cruises along the River Torrens. More sedate cruises, include the High Tea Cruise (which I attended) that provides the best in cream teas, champers, fancy cakes and sandwiches, and what you can’t eat you can take home. Then, one I failed to attend only because it is not my favorite drink is the Gin Cruise which allows you to experience Kangaroo Island by sampling their range of special gins. All in all, Popeye Cruise Boats are a must for any visitors to Adelaide. Read all about them here: https://thepopeye.com.au/
