BRISBANE’S new $158 million International Cruise Terminal is on track for its Oct 2020 opening, with Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk turning the sod on the project on Tue.
“Within its first five years the terminal is expected to handle over 1,100 vessel calls and around 1.8 million passengers,” said Port of Brisbane CEO, Roy Cummins.
“With over 180 bookings confirmed for the 2020/21 cruising season thousands of passengers across the globe are already gearing up to head to Queensland.”
The new terminal’s proximity to Brisbane Airport will offer passengers easy access to their cruising holidays, with the potential to “more than double Brisbane’s cruise industry”.
