Take in the sights and sounds of this tropical port city and its surrounding mangroves as they transition from day tonight.

About the Dinner Cruise

Every night begins with wine, as all good dinner cruises should. With your glasses charged, relax on the interior or exterior decks. Admire the view as the sky transforms from blue to red to orange and finally a silky black filled with thousands of sparkling stars.

Your journey takes you deep into the heart of Trinity Inlet and across the waterfront precinct of Cairns, from the Cruise Liner Terminal to the Esplanade. The water is calm, the weather mild, and the night is yours to enjoy, with entertainment and a delicious buffet featuring some of the region’s best produce, including seafood—the ultimate in waterside dining.
