Lovely evenings experience

Welcomed aboard by the Captain, choice of different drinks on arrival, lovely staff making sure we were comfortable. Beautiful views of Cairns from the sea. Great musician on board, really good food choices from the buffet with lots of local prawns. Delicious cocktails available. Really nice evening.

Spirit of Cairns Sunset Cruise

Cruised on 17/03/26. Boat amenities were excellent with spacious table settings inside for dinner and tables and chairs set up on the deck to view the lights of Cairns/Sunset. Crew provided very polite and efficient services for drinks and Buffet style food which were excellent throughout the evening. Exceptional entertainment was provided by The Sax Man Troy Stevens which made the evening extra special. Will definitely go again on a future trip to Cairns with a sneaky peak to see if The Sax Man is providing the entertainment on board. Thank to you all for a wonderful evening.

Fabulous Dinner Cruise

I can't recommend this cruise enough. The crew were fantastic and the service nothing short of excellent. Mika was a superb hostess ensuring our 35 year wedding anniversary was recognised and even supplying a special dessert complete with sparklers. The plentiful feast was delicious and the ship clean and easy to move around. This was our 2nd trip on Spirit of Cairns and can honestly say we would sail again and we highly recommend 😊
