Cruises from Brisbane

Queensland's Capital city Brisbane, which boasts more than 280 sunny days annually, is situated in what's called the "sunshine state." Brisbane is renowned for its sophisticated museums and art galleries, gorgeous botanic gardens, premium shopping in the CBD and Moreton Bay. The city is traversed by the Brisbane River, which provides excellent access to the north and south via the public transport system and well-known CityCats. Admire the sights of the river city and explore the riverfront landmarks with the wind in your hair. Almost all cruises from Brisbane will depart from the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba, which was constructed in 2020. This is the only major cruise terminal for bookings from Brisbane.

Brisbane has two main cruise ships that are Brisbane-based and stay all year round, however, Brisbane has a large number of cruise ships that visit on a seasonal basis.
