HENS PARTIES

Celebrate her in style.

Some brides are celebrated loudly. Yours might prefer to be celebrated beautifully — an afternoon on a private vessel with the people she loves most, champagne opened as the mooring lines come off, and Melbourne turning golden past the windows.

A hens celebration aboard Elizabeth Anne is high tea in a saloon of restored leather and polished teak, or a long grazing table under the open sky; a slow cruise timed for the best light of the day; photographs she will actually frame. Her decks have welcomed a Queen and a Crown Princess. On this afternoon, they're reserved for one more remarkable woman and her circle.

We host one party at a time, up to 38 guests, with a crew who look after everything — so the person who organised it gets to be a guest too.
