New Zealand is another popular cruise destination, with ships regularly sailing to Auckland, Wellington, Fiordland and Christchurch. If you’re looking for something further afield, try a cruise to Asia, Hawaii or a Transpacific voyage across to the mainland US.

Enjoy spacious suits, exceptional food, free-flowing wines and indulgent spas. Luxury lines to look for include Silversea, Ponant, Seabourn and Crystal Cruises.

Check in times for your cruise will be staggered to cut down on wait times for passengers. The process varies across different cruise lines, but you will be allocated a check in time based on your cabin or given the option to choose a check in slot when you book or through the lines’ app. At a minimum you will need to be at the cruise terminal at least one hour before the ship is scheduled to depart – remember, they won’t wait for you!

There is only one cruise port in Brisbane, so if you are sailing on a round trip cruise then you will return to the same port. If you’re on a one-way cruise, you will depart from Brisbane International Cruise Terminal and then disembark in another city.

If you’re short on time, you can hop on a two- or three-day cruise from Brisbane to get a taste of life onboard. These short cruises may visit one port or just spend time at sea for you to enjoy everything on the ship.

Longer cruises can last from two weeks up to a month and will take you to New Zealand, Asia or on a Transpacific adventure.

Most cruise ships will offer things like swimming pools, waterslides and waterparks, sports courts, games rooms and spas, but some of the ships based here take it to the next level. Enjoy surf simulators, indoor skydiving tunnels, 100m-high observation pods, bumper cars, video game arcades and world-class entertainment featuring virtual reality. There will also be multiple places to dine, ranging from casual cafes and buffets to chic fine dining, as well as buzzy bars and nightclubs. 

Yeehah! You could meet a ship full of new boot scooting buddies on a country music themed cruise from Brisbane. Other themed cruises cover Australian music, comedy, eras like the 80s and 90s, or sporting events. These cruises tend to be short, just a few days at most, and feature lots of themed activities and entertainment on board. Longer cruises can be focused on food and wine, wildlife or cultural encounters.

Yes, there are 900 parking spots available inside the grounds of the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. These are all paid parking spots managed by Wilson Parking and you must book online before you travel.

Carnival Luminosa Sets Sail on 31-Night Repositioning Cruise

• April 1, 2024

The Carnival Luminosa is setting sail today on one of Carnival Cruise Line’s longest-ever cruises.

Departing from Australia, the vessel is set to offer a 31-night trans-Pacific voyage.

The month-long cruise sails from Brisbane to Seattle and features visits to several destinations in Asia, the Far East and Alaska.

Upon leaving Australia, the itinerary starts with seven days at sea before a visit to Guam, in the Mariana Islands.

Three days later, the Carnival Luminosa is then set to arrive in Japan for visits to Naha, Hiroshima, Yokohama and Aomori before crossing the Pacific on its way to Alaska.

After seven days at sea, the 2009-built vessel makes visits to Seward, Juneau and Ketchikan. Continuing its itinerary in Alaska, the cruise also features scenic cruising at the Hubbard Glacier.

Completing the repositioning voyage, the Carnival Luminosa is scheduled to arrive in Seattle on May 1, 2024.

On the same day, the 92,700-ton vessel kicks off its summer season in Alaska and Canada.

Ports of call include Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Victoria. Sailing roundtrip from Seattle, the Carnival Luminosa also offers scenic cruising at the Tracy Arm Fjord on every cruise.

The season extends through late September when the ship is scheduled to return to Australia for a third winter program Down Under.

Originally built for Costa Cruises, the Luminosa entered service in 2009 before being transferred to the Carnival Cruise Line fleet in late 2022 .

In Alaska, the 2,260-guest ship will be joined by two of its fleetmates, the Carnival Spirit and the Carnival Miracle.

While the first is also scheduled to offer week-long itineraries departing from Seattle, the second sails ten-night itineraries departing from Carnival’s private cruise terminal in Long Beach, California.
