Moreton Island is Australia’s best-kept secret. Marvel at crystal clear lakes, an abundance of rare wildlife and endless white sandy beaches on the world’s third largest sand island. Cruise ships anchor offshore and tenders are provided.

Top Things to Do on Moreton Island:

  • hand feed wild dolphins
  • try quad biking, parasailing or sand tobogganing down sand dunes.
  • snorkelling the island’s famous shipwrecks

Evenings on board offer a variety of entertainment options. Relax in the main lounge with live music or head to the sky deck for cocktails under the stars. Daily briefings, fun games organized by the crew, and the company of fellow travellers ensure there's never a dull moment. With a range of activities and social opportunities, your evenings will be as enjoyable as your days.

First cruise 0 , WA, Australia, Jun 2026
We went on a cruise with Carnival. Getting on the ship was fast and easy. It was overwhelming inside initially, but once we knew the layout and which areas to avoid, it was fine. There were lots of options for different foods and where to eat. The rooms had lots of room for our bags.
Carnival 3 night cruise 0 , NSW, Australia, May 2026
Lots of people celebrating and parties. More young children than expected. All facilities on the cruise as expected. I feel the choice of food at dining rooms was less then previous cruises. Overall just relaxed and did very little. Shows were good.
