Cruises to Queensland

Australia’s vast northeast state dazzles for many reasons, not least the astonishing diversity in its many ecosystems. A highlight of a Queensland cruise is the Great Barrier Reef, the longest reef system on Earth, where vibrant corals are home to thousands of species, and turquoise seas are swirled with drifts of pure white sand. 

You won’t want to miss the luxuriant greenery of the Daintree Rainforest, the rolling vineyards of the Granite Belt behind Brisbane, or a chance to spot indigenous creatures in the wild. Queensland has a vibrant culture, too, with traditional art, music, culinary skills and storytelling kept alive by the various Aboriginal peoples who have lived here for millennia. Join a tour to learn about their close affinity with the land, with a chance to play the didgeridoo, throw a boomerang, and try “bush tucker”. Discover the magic of Queensland on a cruise to Australia with Celebrity Cruises.

The Great Barrier Reef

This incredible reef system is the largest in the world and is home to a spectacular display of coral, plus a multitude of fish species and other sea life, from dolphins and whales to sea turtles. Snorkel, sail, gaze through a glass-bottomed boat, or try your first dive in the warm, clear water. Or take to the skies and fly over the forested Whitsunday Islands, scattered across the aquamarine sea, while keeping a look out for the famous, almost perfectly shaped Heart Reef.

The Gold Coast

Lively Brisbane is the gateway to the shimmering Gold Coast, popular with surfers due to its excellent wave breaks, and loved by beachgoers for its miles of sandy shoreline. Combine a trip to the beach here with a journey further afield, perhaps to the arty town of Mount Tamborine, or the national parks in the hilly hinterland, where you can hike, admire plunging waterfalls, and cool off in shaded creeks.

Daintree Rainforest

The vast expanse of the ancient Daintree Rainforest lies just north of Port Douglas. Take off on an eco-adventure to spot crocs lurking in the wild, and see kangaroos and koalas at the Wildlife Habitat. Marvel at the endless jungle-fringed beaches of wild Cape Tribulation, where rainforest and ocean meet, and sample traditional Aussie cuisine in a forest lodge.
