The Brisbane Cruise Terminal is only one sea-day from Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef Whitsunday Islands, and two sea-days from the North Queensland city of Cairns and the exotic Pacific Island of New Caledonia. The Portside wharf can host ships up to 270 metres long, and includes purpose built marine engineering facilities and a dry-dock. The great majority of cruises from Brisbane depart from Portside, while larger mega-ships dock at the Brisbane Cruise Port. The state-of-the-art terminal district was designed for the pleasure of both cruise ship passengers and locals, boasting world-class dining, fashionable retail outlets, and luxury residences with views over the Brisbane River and city skyline.
The full range of cruising options are available from Brisbane. Whether you are looking for a quick escape to Moreton Island, or hoping to join a round-the-world voyage, Brisbane is an ideal starting point.
