Brisbane Cruises Port Guide
Brisbane is the capital of the Australian state of Queensland. Though it doesn’t have the same amount of acclaim as Sydney to the north, those on a cruise to Australia will be thrilled with a day spent in Brisbane. You’ll quickly get a sense of what it’s like to live along Australia’s east coast as you’re immersed in the city culture of Queensland. Even more exciting for most visitors is Brisbane’s close proximity to the Gold Coast, a stretch of coastline beloved by locals for its surf breaks and soft, welcoming sand.

Brisbane River is an excellent spot for those looking for some exciting action while in port. There are a number of different activities you can do on or near the water, such as kayaking, biking by the river’s edge, and even rock climbing at the adjacent Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park. For a more leisurely day on the river, take a catamaran cruise tour of Brisbane.
Visit the Beach
If you’re more of a beach lover than a city fanatic, head on an excursion south of the city to the Gold Coast. There, you’ll find miles upon miles of silky sand in shades of white and gold bordering the rushing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy a relaxing day lounging on the sand, or try your hand at surfing, sea kayaking, or windsurfing.
Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Brisbane Cruise Port
Brisbane has an eclectic, international food scene. From gastropubs to 5-star restaurants, al-fresco street dining to panoramic views, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy the culinary scene during Brisbane cruises.
A popular choice for dining in Brisbane is the riverside Stokehouse Q. Go here for fine dining with an elegant atmosphere and excellent views of the Brisbane River. If you cruise to Brisbane on a Farmer’s Market day, you can try some local produce and delicacies there. Fresh, locally caught seafood is also a top cuisine choice to try while in Brisbane.
For a drink, enjoy a local brew and the Queensland sunshine at one of Brisbane’s rooftop bars.
Culture & History of the Brisbane Cruise Port
The history of Brisbane is quite different from the exciting cityscape you’ll see today. Brisbane was once the location of where more than 100,000 Aboriginals lived, making it one of the most populated areas of Australia long before European settlers arrived. When those European explorers did come, they pushed the Aboriginal inhabitants to the outskirts of Brisbane and turned the area into a penal colony. Convicts built some of the first buildings in Brisbane. In the mid 1900s, the city struggled to deal with a rapidly increasing population, environmental conservation, and aboriginal land rights. Today, Brisbane has evolved from its past and become a city quick to implement change for the betterment of the people and environment. It’s a leading city for diversity as well as culture, arts, and cuisine.
The water around Brisbane has made a big impact on its culture. Brisbane has a sub-tropical climate that is warm year round with nearly 300 days of sunshine each year. The nearby beaches of the Gold Coast give it a laid back surfer vibe that’s intermixed with a bustling city scene. The adjacent Brisbane River that runs through the city provides a peaceful ambiance and gives Brisbane an outdoorsy feel, since you’ll see likely see watersports occurring on and by the river.
Brisbane Port Facilities & Location
Brisbane cruises stop in the city at Portside Wharf, an international cruise terminal that provides a modern experience for travelers visiting the city via ship. Portside Wharf is located in the city of Hamilton, which is roughly a 15-minute drive from Brisbane’s city center. At Portside Wharf, you’ll find a variety of restaurants and bars, plus shops selling souvenirs and clothing.
Transportation in Brisbane
You can travel around Brisbane by land or water during your day in the city. The CityCat ferries that operate on Brisbane River provide an affordable way to get to popular attractions near the riverfront. A CityCat ferry is located right by the Brisbane cruise terminal. For a more traditional mode of transportation, you’ll find an extensive city bus system that travels all around Brisbane and its suburbs. The city center of Brisbane is quite walkable, and there are bridges and free cross-ferries connecting each side of the river.
Shopping Near the Brisbane Cruise Port
You’ll find a variety of shopping experiences while in Brisbane. The City is the premier shopping district where you’ll find over 1,000 shops, including flagship stores for popular brands and boutiques you won’t find anywhere else. The stores are located along Edward Street, Elizabeth Street, and Adelaide Street, and within the Queen Street Mall.
Some other places to shop while in Brisbane include Fortitude Valley, where you’ll find local designers; James Street, for high-end fashion boutiques; and Paddington, which is a great place to find vintage fashion as well as housewares and books.
Local Currency & Tipping Customs
The currency used in Brisbane is the Australian Dollar (AUD). You’ll find ATMs throughout the city dispensing the currency. Money exchange offices are also located in the city. Be aware that instead of dollar bills, you’ll have dollar coins, so be sure you keep track of your loose change. In addition to cash, credit cards are widely accepted in Brisbane, with a preference for Visa and Mastercard. Tipping is not expected in Australia, though it is appreciated.
