Cruise Ships

The Port of Cairns is one of the country’s busiest cruise destinations with major international cruise ships scheduled annually and its vast array of domestic reef vessels operating on a daily basis.

This modern, sophisticated city with its extensive shopping and dining experiences, magnificent mountain backdrop and direct access to the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Tropical Rainforests makes Cairns an extremely attractive cruise and fly/cruise port.

The Port provides capacity for up to two cruise vessels located along Wharves 1-5 with a dedicated cruise terminal on Wharf 2/3. The terminal, located in the heart of the City, is an easy walk to downtown shopping.

Cairns International Airport is located just 8 kilometres from the City.
