Cairns Dinner Cruise - Waterside Dining

Now Available Thursday – Sunday!

A Cairns dinner cruise is the perfect way to end a perfect day in paradise. Board our sailing catamaran and enjoy an evening of calm water cruising on Trinity Inlet, taking in the sights and sounds of this tropical port city and its surrounds as they transition from day to night.

Every journey begins with a refreshing pre-dinner drink, as all good dinner cruises should. With your glass charged, stroll the interior or exterior decks and 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. Sit down to a delicious three-course set menu dinner featuring some of the region’s best produce. A children’s meal is available for ages 4-14, featuring a smaller sized main course and dessert.

Our luxurious Spirit of Cairns sailing catamaran is fully licensed, selling a range of beverages.

The cruise passes along Cairns’ waterfront and Esplanade precinct, delivering panoramic views of the twinkling night lights of this port city.

When Do We Go

The Spirit of Cairns dinner cruise operates every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening, departing Marlin Marina at 6.30pm and returning at 9pm.

Check-in and boarding is at the boat, moored at Marlin Marina, from 6pm. A welcome drink (beer, bubbles or soft drink) is served on arrival and the bar is open for you to relax on board prior to departure.

What To Bring / Wear

Yourself and your smile, for a great evening ahead. Tropical cocktail attire is suggested, with a light jacket for the winter months. Footwear is mandatory, with suitable shoes for boating recommended. Although it’s a calm water cruise, you will find it more comfortable moving around the boat in flat rubber soled shoes.
