Join us as we celebrate Christmas in July in Camden. The festive fun begins when we board the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler for a delicious Christmas-themed lunch cruise on the Nepean River. We then continue our journey, arriving at the elegant & charming Camden Valley Inn later that afternoon for what will be a very comfortable & enjoyable overnight stay.
