Winner of the great ferry race on three occasions, Lady McKell is fondly remembered by the millions of passengers who travelled on her throughout her quarter century of service on Sydney Harbour.

Finally made redundant in 1993, Lady McKell was auctioned off for further service in Hong Kong. This plan never eventuated and she was all but abandoned in Rozelle Bay until sold to Melbourne Star Cruises in 1998.

Now in Melbourne, a extensive refurbishment has dramatically transformed the Lady McKell into the Victoria Star - MELBOURNE'S LUXURY CRUISE SHIP.
