Spirit of Cairns Dinner Cruise

For a fun evening ahead, bring yourself and, most essential, a smile.
Cocktail attire is recommended, with a light jacket for the colder months. Meanwhile, footwear is required, with boating shoes being advised. Despite the calm water, travelling around the boat with flat rubber-soled shoes will be more comfortable. But remember to bring some cash, EFTPOS, or a credit card for your bar purchases.
