WELCOME TO EDEN

The picturesque town of Eden is set on a deep natural harbour and is surrounded by National Park.

The cruising operations of Eden are supported by the local volunteer organisation Cruise Eden, the Port Authority of New South Wales and Bega Valley Shire Council.

When you disembark in Snug Cove, make sure you explore the Cruise Markets as well as the award-winning Eden Welcome Centre. Inside you will find the Eden Visitor Information Centre where you can purchase local products and souvenirs.

A regular shuttle bus runs on cruise days, from Snug Cove to the town centre – shuttle buses leave from the Eden Welcome Centre.
