What fits into a 12-hour Melbourne cruise stop with a car?

Leave the final part of the day close to the port. Have your friends identify the permitted pickup and drop-off point before disembarkation.

Check the ship's berth, all-aboard time and event traffic before setting a route. An MCG tour or event needs its own confirmed time slot.

Pick one coastal stop and one compact central area. Brighton plus a long city lunch can be satisfying without spending most of the call in traffic.
