About Us

Combining the luxury of a quality functions venue with the uniqueness of a river cruise

ABOUT US

You too can experience exclusive luxury on your special occasion.

The Crystal Swan was purchased in 2009 by four Perth locals – a human resources director, a financial adviser, a marketing guru and a chef. Sadly neglected, they set about rolling up their sleeves and giving the boat a well deserved makeover. The boat was relaunched and with a new lease on life, has provided a multi award winning venue for thousands of guests hosted at weddings, corporate events and those special family occasions.

Recently, the Crystal Swan has undergone another complete ‘facelift’, to keep our offering current and contemporary. The vessel has been stripped internally and refurbished to create a new and sophisticated ambience, complemented by the ‘piece de resistance’, an elegant chandelier providing a swanky and refined entry statement.

Environmental Sustainability

As a cruise vessel on the beautiful Swan River, the Crystal Swan respects and understands environmental sustainability.

With the goal in mind to reduce our carbon footprint, we have put in place the following strategies;

Paulownia Timber

*Cultivated primarily for its fine, light and valuable timber, Paulownia can also be used for biomass, carbon sequestration, pruned to supply nutritious fodder to livestock during dry times and is highly ornamental with masses of sweetly scented trumpet-shaped flowers in spring.

MEASURE

To understand our footprint first we must measure our energy, water and fuel usage. Copies of our accounts in these areas have been accessed to determine our starting points. In the past twelve months we have reduced: water usage by 5% diesel usage by 6% landfill waste by 50%

REDUCE

A dedicated effort to reduce these inputs is now in place. Skippers – reduce fuel usage. Chefs – Reduce water & waste. Management – Encourage results. Turn it off Campaign. Adopt LED technology Identify & fix water leaks. Changing flow rates on equipment. Replacement of inefficient engines. Replacement of fridge door seals.

OFFSET

At our property in the south west of WA we have recently planted. 15 x Black Wattle Acacia’s. 10 x Paulownia*. 50 other native shrubs & bushes. The directors of Crystal Swan Cruises believe in protecting our environment and by planting the above native trees, shrubs and bushes will restore some of our carbon footprint. These efforts are ongoing with further planting
