Sydney Harbour Cruise
Captain Cook Cruises sets the benchmark for cruising on Sydney Harbour. Join one of our 25 scheduled cruises daily, hop on a Rocket Ferry, book a private cruise or purchase a gift certificate and enjoy our multi award winning service.

Discover the secrets of Sydney and it's harbour on a spectacular 2 night weekend escape cruise with million dollars views



Great Barrier Reef River Cruise
Explore all the hidden jewels of the Great Barrier Reef with Captain Cook Cruises aboard the Coral Princess vessels. Three, four and seven night cruises allow you to swim, snorkel and SCUBA dive amid the fish and corals in the clear tropical waters. Join the marine biologist aboard the glass bottom boat, stroll golden sandy beaches on remote coral cays or visit secluded tropical islands and ancient rainforests, while our on-board experts interpret the natural wonders of the reef, rainforest and island habitats.


Murray River River Cruise
There's no better way to see the Murray River and a slice of the hauntingly beautiful and dramatic Australian outback, it's unique flora and fauna, and the rich legacy of old riverside ports and indigenous culture close up than to drift unhurried and quietly under the power of the paddle-wheeler PS Murray Princess.

The Murray River is to Australia what the Nile River is to Egypt: a great and ancient river system that has shaped the past and the present and will continue into the future as a national icon.



The Small Ship Advantage

  • Local Australian Fijian crew

Small ship cruising takes you far from the beaten track and close up to places no other kind of cruising can reach. Our ship's small size means it can negotiate narrow waterways, shallow bays and quiet rivers where bigger ships cannot go.

Unlike big ships and large scale international ports, a small ship allows you to experience places where the nature, history and culture remain fresh, where the flood of tourists has not overrun them and will not overrun you. Places where you will meet and interact with the locals and discover how the waterway plays a vital role in their normal day to day lives.

Of course you still enjoy all the comforts larger ships provide: swimming pools, sun decks, bars, quality dining, massage and beauty treatments, entertainment and good company.

Individual Experience
Limited numbers onboard mean every guest is welcomed and known as an individual. That is why our crew-members have to be really special. Bright, skilled, often locally recruited, they are eager to share their extensive knowledge and make your small ship experience personal.

Because you are in a smaller group, there is time for learning and experiencing. Onboard and on-site experts provide fascinating insights into the history, landscape, biology and ecology of the regions we explore. Around our informal dinner tables, you can share your own adventures with new friends.

Active? It is up to You
We encourage a hands-on approach, but always leave you in charge of your own activity level. If there is a headland to climb or a reef to snorkel, you are invited. If you want to take it easy by the onboard pool, just ask for a towel and maybe grab a thriller from the library.

The keys are informality and flexibility with the focus on making each experience as revealing and memorable as it can be.
