Common questions about this trip

  • Is the food actually good?

    For a dinner cruise — yes. Reef fish + local steak + Aussie sides. Not Michelin-star but proper restaurant quality, which is rare for cruises.
  • Dress code?

    Tropical cocktail attire — collared shirt or a nice top, no thongs. Flat rubber-soled shoes are best (boat moves a little). Light jacket if it's winter (May-Aug).
  • Dietary needs — vegetarian, gluten-free?

    Yes — call Spirit of Cairns directly on 07 4047 9170 or email at least 24 hours ahead to flag dietary needs. They cater for vego, GF, vegan, lactose-free with notice.
  • Drinks included?

    One welcome drink (sparkling, beer or soft drink). Beyond that there's a fully licensed bar — pay as you go (cash or card).
  • Can I bring my kids?

    Yes — family-friendly, kids 4+ welcome at the child rate ($89 vs adult $139). Calm waters in Trinity Inlet, no rough sea.
  • Weather backup if it rains?

    Cruise runs in most conditions — Trinity Inlet is protected, so it stays calm. The vessel has indoor + outdoor decks so you stay dry whatever happens.
  • Refund policy?

    Within 2 days of departure = 100% fee, no refunds. Plan around the date once you book.
