The Melbourne Star Observation Wheel has released a limited series of  Valentine's Day flight packages online, ranging from Private Sparkling Flights to a lavish “Cupid's Delight Flight”.

The Melbourne Star Observation Wheel's Cupid's Delight Flight package offers a singular experience within the comfort of a private panoramic cabin, featuring all the extravagances required for the ultimate Valentine's Day date. Greeted by a lifesize Melbourne Star Observation Wheel Melbie Bear, couples will enjoy in-cabin catering attended to by a private host, with a caricature artist to illustrate the experience, a bottle of sparkling wine, savoury canapes, and the obligatory bouquet of red roses while a musician provides a serenading soundtrack to the flight. Couples will take home a Magic Memories Souvenir Photo Book.

The range of  Valentine's Day package options include Private Cabins, take home gifts and canapés, with prices ranging from $260 to $1,755 per couple. An ideal alternative to battling for a crowded Valentine's Day restaurant booking; the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel offers luxury, romance, privacy and memories that surpass all else.

Located in Docklands, the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel is perched on the edge of Melbourne providing 360 degree views of the port, city and all the way out to the shores of Mornington and the vineyards of the Yarra Valley.
