Barrier Reef Encounter
Queensland has so much to offer beyond the popular holiday spots of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast and there is no better way to see this region than on a P&O Australia cruise. The jewel in the crown is undoubtedly the Great Barrier Reef. This World Heritage listed site is the largest living thing on Earth, rich with coral and teeming with marine life. Optional P&O excursions from Airlie Beach or Cairns will allow you to explore intricate coral gardens, see brightly-coloured tropical fish, molluscs and maybe even visiting reef sharks, dolphins and turtles. Your time in Cairns is also a great opportunity for further optional excursions, maybe travel further in to the mighty Daintree rainforest or explore the wonders of Kuranda and the scenic hinterlands.
Cruising is the perfect holiday for this region as it covers your travel, your accommodation, all main meals and also includes word class entertainment to make sure your nights are as action packed as your days.
