Welcome to my travel blog. We are occasional cruisers, usually with the aim of travelling at least once each year.

 Previously I have published each cruise with a separate blog. I have now decided to combine them all in a single location. This blogs primary purpose is to keep a summary of our cruises for ourselves.
The Brisbane ship tab is a list of upcoming ships into Brisbane for the ship watcher enthusiast. The photo tab are cruise ship photos. World cruise blog tab has links to follow, making it easier if you access the blog by a mobile device and can't see my reading list on the right.

Ships in Brisbane 7th-13th November 2016

As the cruise season is in full swing in Australia at the moment, I thought I'd try to make a list each week of expected Brisbane port visits.
There are two locations for cruise ships. The first is Portside and is only suitable for ships that can sail under the Gateway bridge and are short enough to turn 180 degrees in the river.
The second is the Fishermen Island multi-user terminal at the Port of Brisbane. Larger ships dock here or if there are 2 ships due then both get used.

The viewing platform is great at Portside and you can also catch a citycat ferry past the docked ship for great photo opportunities.

The Port of Brisbane also have a visitors centre and a roof top cafe with great views. I haven't been there when a cruise ship has been in port, but that's on my to do list this summer.
