Enhance your cruise and extend your trip with a carefully designed programme.

Day 1 - Cairns

After disembarkation procedures are completed, you will be greeted at the port by our local representative.

Depart for an Australian experience into the rainforest. After a 30-minute drive, you will arrive at the Skyrail Rainforest Cable Car Station. Upon arrival, you will board one of the gondolas for an amazing experience over Australia's World Heritage listed tropical rainforest canopy, and into the rainforest itself. Spanning approximately four-and-a-half miles over pristine rainforest, Skyrail allows you to explore the wonders of this ancient tropical rainforest and learn about one of the most botanically fascinating and diverse areas on earth, and includes time at two mid-stations. The easy access walkways at Barron Falls Station take you on three separate lookouts where you will be treated to breath-taking views of Barron Gorge and Barron Falls. This station is where you will find the state-of-the-art Rainforest Interpretation Centre.

At the completion of your Skyrail journey, you will proceed to the centre of Kuranda, a delightful village nestled in the heart of the rainforest. Established as a railway station in the mid-1800s, when logging and mining were large industries on the Atherton Tablelands, Kuranda became known as a place to stock up on goods and also where one could enjoy some culture and sophistication at one of the local hotels. Today, this colourful township is a haven for markets, cafés, and restaurants. After a brief overview of the town, you will have some free time to further explore on your own. No doubt you will want to take the opportunity to browse the shops for local artwork, crafts, opals or aboriginal souvenirs while you are here.

Following your visit to Kuranda, you will board your coach and will return to Cairns for lunch.

After lunch you will take a short panoramic drive of Cairns passing the Cairns Casino and view the Central Mall and the shops in the bustling downtown area. An informative commentary will provide details about the Navy Patrol Base, shipyards and the Sugar Terminal, beyond which lies the Fishing Base, a lucrative source of revenue for this prosperous region. Continuing on, you will venture through the town of Portsmith and the suburbs of Bungalow and Manunda, both of which feature lovely old Queenslander-style houses. A brief stop at the Botanical Gardens affords a chance to stretch your legs and wander among the interesting fauna and flora, before arriving at the hotel.

You will check-in to the hotel Shangri-La the Marina 5*.

Dinner at the hotel.

Day 2 - Cairns

After breakfast and check-out, time at leisure depending on your flight schedule.

You will then be transferred to the airport in time for check-in for the PONANT selected flight or any other flight (provided that you have previously communicated your flight schedule to your travel agent).

It offers a free Wi-Fi access.
