DAY 1

Upon arrival at the Cairns International Airport, you will be met after Customs and luggage claim and transferred by private vehicle to your centrally located hotel, just a short walk from the marina, Esplanade, and main dining precinct.

Check in time is at 3:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.

There will be an RSSC Hospitality Desk for local recommendations.

The rest of the day is at leisure with dinner on own, perfect for easing into the tropical pace before the days ahead.

Note: Couples or pairs will be transferred by private van or SUV (max 4 large bags total plus 1 carry-on per person); solo guests will use a sedan (2 large suitcases plus a carry-on). Extra luggage may require a larger vehicle at additional cost—notify your RSSC booking agent at least 14 days before sailing with this information. Transfers include driver only.

DAY 2

Today is all about experiencing the natural beauty and laid-back charm of Cairns. After breakfast, begin with a half-day adventure to the Great Barrier Reef aboard a smaller, private vessel, offering a more relaxed and intimate way to explore. With around 4.5 hours on the water, there’s plenty of time to snorkel, take in the vibrant marine life, and enjoy the reef at an unhurried pace. Light refreshments are served onboard.

Returning to Cairns, enjoy lunch back at the hotel before heading out on a guided walk through the city, including a visit to the Cairns Museum for a deeper understanding of the region’s history and culture. The rest of the evening and dinner is at leisure and dinner is on your own.

Note: Guests should bring a towel, swimsuit, hat and biodegradable, reef-friendly sun protection. Scuba Diving is not available. The Great Barrier Reef trip is subject to weather conditions. All snorkel equipment will be provided or guests may bring their own.

DAY 3

After breakfast, travel to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for a scenic journey above the rainforest canopy, offering sweeping views across the lush landscape and out to the dramatic Barron Falls.

Continue to a privately owned rainforest estate for an exclusive guided experience through this rich and diverse ecosystem. Accompanied by an expert guide, explore the tropical rainforest and learn about the unique flora and fauna, with the chance to spot native wildlife including the elusive cassowary. The experience continues through a tropical fruit orchard, home to more than 600 fruit trees, where you’ll sample a variety of seasonal produce.

A light lunch is served at the estate before transferring to the port where you will embark the ship.
