It was a great night cruising around Cairns harbour. The staff were fantastic and the food was great. The only negative I have is that the desserts provided were lacking in variety and quantity. The main course was fantatic with both quantity and variety but the desserts not so. Improve that and I would give 5 stars
Relaxing experience sailing around the harbour with good food Great friendly staff with a good selection of alcohol
It was disappointing that the only two children on the cruise were unsupervised by their parents, and were allowed to rummage through the buffet before dinner time. They were also seen selecting desserts and then putting them back on the buffet table. Parents supervised your children and teach them right from wrong, there were other paying customers on that cruise.
A perfect romantic evening on the water with my hubby. The Spirit of Cairns Dinner Cruise delivered amazing food, including fresh prawns, oysters, and delicious crocodile spring rolls. The drink selection was excellent, the service was fantastic, and the sunset views over Cairns made the night extra special. Highly recommend for a memorable date night or special occasion.

The food was absolutely incredible, including delicious gluten-free desserts, which was a wonderful surprise. The oysters were fresh, tasty, and definitely a highlight of the evening. I also tried the Spicy Margarita, which was really good and served in a very generous size compared to what you usually get elsewhere. We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday, and the crew made a lovely surprise for him, which made the experience even more special. The atmosphere, views, and service made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Cairns!

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience at this dinner cruise. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was incredible — every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with so much care and quality. The crew was amazing as well, extremely attentive, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome throughout the entire evening. The space itself was beautiful, comfortable, and created the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the view. And the saxophone player… absolutely outstanding. The live music made the whole experience feel even more special and elegant. He created the perfect vibe for the night. Honestly, I would recommend this experience to absolutely everyone. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just to enjoy a memorable night out, it’s truly worth it. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

Certainly no Seafood Buffett as advertised and pictures, not worth the money as the seafood was very limited to prawns without flavour and oysters - neither were plentiful in number and not replenished once small bowl of prawns and plate of oysters supposedly to cater for 30 people. As a family 4 we did not even get an oyster and when staff were asked if there was more they said no more food available!!!! the only other seafood was small in fact tiny pieces of barramundi and heavily coated calamari without flavour. The staff while pleasant enough made communal cocktails at the bar and spent the night sucking up cocktail into the straws to then slurp - not a good look for us as customers seeing all. And then to have to pay an extra fee for fuel - which I don't mind if the rest of the dinner reflected the cost - however we were bullied into paying the amount by the blue haired girl who told me it was my fault for not paying previously - no where was a fuel charge quoted or indicated. And the lack of tea and coffee availability throughout cruise was noted by multiple customers who were wanting to have a drink. Would I recommend the cruise NO NO NO - and I have done many dinner cruises around the world so can speak from experience.
