Ultimate Guide to Brisbane International Cruise Terminal

Finalised in mid-2020, the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal (BICT) is Queensland’s first ever dedicated cruise facility homeporting some of the largest cruise ships in the world. 

The 9300sqm Arkhefield-designed terminal features a 208-metre-long wharf, 270-metre-long elevated walkway, parking facilities and riverfront open spaces. 

BICT is located at 1 Cruise Terminal Dr, Pinkenba, also known as Luggage Point. The port’s close proximity to Brisbane’s Central Business District and its nearness to the airport makes it more accessible for both locals and foreign visitors. 

The Brisbane International Cruise Terminal is only open during the cruise ship’s berthing time. 

Homeported cruise lines

Brisbane International Cruise Terminal homeports a number of cruise lines. Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Disney Cruise Line and P&O Australia. 

How to get there 

When the GPS systems may not recognise the official address of BICT, drivers can use Marine Road, which becomes Cruise Terminal Drive. 

The cruise terminal is situated at the mouth of the Brisbane River. It is a 15-minute drive (12km) from Brisbane Airport and a 30-minute drive (21km) from the CBD. It is close to major arterial roads such as the Gateway Motorway and Kingsford Smith Drive.

From the airport

It will only take about 15-17 minutes (without traffic) to travel from Brisbane Airport to Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. 

Guests/passengers may take a taxi, or rideshare like Uber, Ola, or DiDi, or pre-book a private transfer like the door-to-door shuttle services, Con-X-ion . Additionally, those who are traveling with a private vehicle may take the route via Lomandra Dr and State Route 25 (12.8km).

BICT is not currently serviced by public transport .

From Brisbane Central Business District (CBD)

It only takes approximately 29 minutes to drive from Brisbane CBD to BICT via Airport Link (22.4 km). And more or less 30 minutes via State Route 26. 

Guests and travelers must also alot several minutes more to consider the traffic especially during rush hours. 

Parking at BICT

Onsite parking at Brisbane International Cruise Terminal is managed by Wilson Parking. For travelers and guests, they may make their bookings via the Wilson Parking website: www.wilsonparking.com.au.

The plan to extend the car park of BICT and add an extra 340 parking spaces is now underway. The additional car parks will increase BICT’s total onsite parking to 1282 parking bays for passengers and staff. 

In the event that onsite parking is full, guests and travellers can be dropped off or make alternative parking arrangements. 

There are also off-site car parking operators and private transfer providers in Brisbane like Andrew’s Airport Parking. You can contact them on (07) 3268 4222 or Portside Parking on (07) 3630 0922​. 

Moreover, there is a 2-minute Passenger Pick-up and set-down area located in front of the terminal building. It also has two accessible bays. 

Hotels closest to BICT

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and Australia’s third-largest city. So, accommodation and hotels for cruise ship guests and passengers are not much of a problem. There is the Pacific Hotel Brisbane in Spring Hill which is about 16 km from BICT.

On the other hand, the Brisbane Central District also houses several hotels including Capri by Fraser, Stamford Plaza which is 15.7 km from BICT. There is also the Great Southern Hotel, Hyatt Regency, and The Point Brisbane Hotel which are approximately 16 km from BCIT.

Many of the airport hotels (Pullman/Novotel/Ibis) also offer transfers to BICT.

Hi Simon, about 35 minutes in non-peak period, via State Route 25 or the Airport Link from Brisbane CBD.

Thanks for the info. I’m leaving from BICT for first time in March next year. I’m staying in the CBD and Quantum of the Seas leaves at 4.30pm. As there’s no public transport to the terminal, I’m wondering what the traffic situation is like. I want to get on around 1.30 – 2.00. What time do you think I should leave? I’ll be getting Uber.

Hope you can assist. 🙂

Cheers, Simon.

What you need to know about Brisbane International Cruise Terminal!

Posted by Kerry Heaney | Brisbane travel | 30

Here’s what you need to know about the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal and Brisbane Cruise Terminal parking. Don’t miss this crucial information and essential details about the location and parking that will surprise and disappoint you!

Table of Contents

What you need to know about Brisbane International Cruise Terminal

In the middle of 2020, the brand-new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal (BICT) was finalised, heralding a warm welcome to cruise ships as Southeast Queensland’s inaugural specialized cruise hub. Representing Brisbane’s fresh haven for oceanic getaways, this terminal is accessible solely during cruise ship berthing times. The previous cruise terminal located at Portside Hamilton has since been shuttered, marking a significant transition.

Once you are inside the terminal building, it operates well. However, I found myself searching for shelter, unable to find car parking and stuck with expensive transport fares. Three years after completion, the long drive to the building is through an unguttered, industrial wasteland.  Not a great first impression of Brisbane for travellers.

Here’s my latest cruise review – Ditch Ordinary Life: Cruise from Australia to New Zealand with Princess Cruises for a Dreamy First Time Adventure 

It’s at Pinkenba, not Portside

The first thing you need to know is that the new Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba is easy to confuse with the old Portside Wharf at Hamilton cruise terminal. They are both in the same general direction, but the new terminal is a long way further down the river, on the northern bank right at the naturally deep river mouth at Luggage Point, not far from Brisbane Airport

If you are booking parking or a ride-share app, ensure it displays the correct address. The apps tend to default to the most commonly used destination, which was previously Portside Wharf at Hamilton.

The terminal building is two storeys, with an undercover plaza and outdoor waterfront promenade. There are covered walkways where you can go after getting out of your ride and walk into the terminal.

The 208-metre wharf was built to service the world’s largest cruise ships at the time of opening in 2020. Since then, the ships have increased in size.

Once inside the terminal, passengers go through security screening and immigration. Then you can travel from the terminal building to the vessel via a passenger boarding bridge and a 270m elevated walkway. It’s quite a leisurely stroll.

​How to get to Brisbane International Cruise Terminal

The cruise terminal is located on the north side of the Brisbane River mouth, about 15 minutes’ drive (12 km) from Brisbane Airport and 30 minutes’ drive (21 km) from Brisbane’s CBD. The terminal is close to major arterial roads, such as Kingsford Smith Drive and Gateway Motorway.

There is no public transport to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal. However, if you are a local, you can book Brisbane Cruise Terminal parking , get a friend to drop you off, or take a taxi or ride share option.

Cruise passengers disembarking in Brisbane will find plenty of taxis and ride-share drivers available. In addition, your cruise ship may provide a city transfer or a city tour option.

Brisbane Cruise Terminal Parking

The terminal has about 900 onsite paid car parking spaces for passengers. Unfortunately, this is not enough to accommodate everyone, so the first thing to do after you book your cruise is book your parking as spaces book out well ahead. Construction has commenced on an additional 340 car parks, and these are expected to be available in 2024. Let’s hope this solves some of the problems.

Parking is available within walking distance of the terminal, and rates start at $32.40 a day. So, for a six-day cruise, you could pay $104.80. The question is whether this is cheaper or more expensive than a taxi or Uber? This will depend on how far you need to travel to reach the terminal.

Convenience is another factor. Having your car when you arrive back from your cruise might be handy. If you decide to drive and park, book early, as there are insufficient parking spaces for passengers on large cruise ships.

There are different types of parking available, with some offering weather protection. Whether this weather protection would save you in a hailstorm must be tested. Please share below if you have thoughts on this.

A cheaper alternative is a shuttle service, where you park further away from the terminal, and the company provides transfers and pick-ups.  You can book in advance with Wilson Parking .

It’s also difficult if you want to visit the terminal for a short period, perhaps to meet some friends.  I suggest you just drive by and pick them up in the loading zone.

If Brisbane is just a stop on your cruise, you should know here is nothing to do at the terminal, and most places you might want to visit, such as Portside or the DFO, are an expensive return Uber or taxi ride away.  For an easy pub lunch, you can call Trade Coast Hotel at Pinkenba on 07 3261426.  They will come and pick you up from the ship and return you after you enjoy lunch at their bistro restaurant.

What’s it like to cruise on Quantum of the Seas from Brisbane?

Can you eat there?

There is now a cafe at the terminal that is open at 7 am on cruise days. The Cruise Cafe serves coffee, light meals, snacks and other drinks.

Any shopping?

There are no shopping outlets at the terminal. 

What happens if your cruise ship is delayed docking?

This happened to me when the cruise ship was delayed because of a medical emergency. It’s good to know that a high priority is placed on the health of cruise passengers.

Unfortunately, the late arrival and delay in boarding caused massive problems at the terminal. People were standing in the hot sun in long queues for up to two hours. So if you get a notification that your ship is arriving late, don’t rush to be there early. It really won’t help. You are much better off arriving at the time they suggest and spending less time in a queue.

I wished I had better sun protection, such as a long-sleeved shirt and my hat for the boarding queue.

Getting off the ship

There were no delays in getting off the ship.  I chose to handle my own bags and was able to disembark soon after the ship docked.  It was simple to get through customs and then to the taxi queue.  There were plenty of taxis waiting as the drivers had received an alert that the ship was docking.

I’m sure there is wifi at the terminal although it might be busy when the ship comes in and this might mean it takes longer to get through. You’ll find the customs process is quite efficient and they should get through easily. Just a tip: I always pack any food items and anything made from wood or straw in a separate bag so they are easy to show to customs. That way you don’t have to unpack your bag. Hope this helps.

I’ve got to pick up some friends, and was planning to wait at DFO until I heard from them that they’d cleared customs. They don’t have an Aussie phone sim. Is there a public phone box at the cruise terminal? I have read there is no wifi available there.

Great idea! Unfortunately the cruise terminal is only open when a ship is there. Maybe time it around the next arrival or departure.

Hi Kerry – we went to check out the drop of loading zone yesterday (we have booked parking at Airpark) And want to drop people off but the gates were shut and we couldn’t lol around ?

Hi Peter, I suggest you contact the terminal directly on this one. Have a great cruise!

I have a disability permit. How long can I wait at the terminal pick-up point?

Hi Trevor, in my experience, no. My bags were scanned when boarding and I don’t believe alcohol is allowed. Different ships may have different regulations so best to check with the cruise line before boarding.

Can alcohol be taken onto a cruise ship? Like a bottle of liqueur?

All too true! The location is dictated by the available access for large ships so it had to be Pinkenba but there’s so much that can be done to improve the terminal and access to the city. It’s a shame.

I’m so sorry that you had this poor experience at the port. Brisbane is a great place to visit and this new facility does not showcase it well. Despite multiple approaches and stories in the port’s lack of facilities, little has changed.

We were there last October, No transport, No Taxi’s, No food, No Nothing, so I sent a email to the Minister of Tourism, he did not have the decency to even reply with our suggestions. A waste of a port to visit.

If you’re not a local the new terminal is rubbish. It’s in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by factories. It has no public transport and not enough parking, which is expensive anyway. No car rental depots within cooee and even the airport is not very convenient. Trying to get an Uber to collect you from the ship is very difficult. Compared to the previous wharf at Hamilton, which had car rentals, shopping, dining and a lovely ferry ride into the CBD, this terminal was a big waste of money. Look at Circular Quay, Station Pier Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Fremantle, all so much more accessible than Pinkenba.

Accessibility is another problem. Parking is totally booked out months in advance and there’s no public transport.

We have sailed once from Pinkenba. It is better than the previous cattle market arrangement at Hamilton but requires a food outlet for, at least,snacks

sounds like a big white elephant i will not be traveling to brisbane for any more cruises did it once driver in taxi from Roma street didnt know were it was, should have learnt my lesson but decided to try again with new terminal wrong all i read are bad reports COMMING by train from Sydney no proper way to get there but expensive cab ride [hate flying ] WOULD SEEM CANT EVEN GET A CUP OF COFFEE ,please Brisbane and p o get your bloody act together ,

The closest train station would be at the Brisbane International Airport. The best access between the airport and cruise terminal would be via taxi or ride share. There is no public transport option.

What’s the nearest train station to the terminal

I’ve just finished a cruise on Majestic Princess and loved it! There are no eating places at the port apart from the coffee van, but it’s not far to walk out and meet family in the car park. Unless the ship is providing a shuttle service, there’s no public transport available. You can book a ride share or take a taxi from the ranks. The closest place for cafes and restaurants is Portside at Hamilton. There are plenty of nice places to eat there. You can also try Racecourse Road, which is just a little further. It’s about a 20-minute drive. Another place would be the DFO Shopping Centre, with a range of eateries. It’s about 16 minutes away from the port.

We will be arriving on the Majestic Princess on 9th March. Will there be any eating places open apart from the coffee van. How far to walk from the ship out of the port to the visitors car park to meet family. Is there a shuttle service to the city .

I’m flying in, so won’t be parking there ‍

If there is no delay in the ship’s arrival, I have heard that the system works quite well, so don’t be too worried. If you find a long queue, go to the administration desk at the front of the terminal and ask for assistance. I would expect they will provide help for anyone using a walker. I hope you have a great cruise.

Is it any better now in january for someone with a wheelie walker please

That was my experience. The ship was late because of a medical emergency. These don’t often happen, thank goodness, but you would think there could be a better plan for this occurrence. The road there is not pretty, and no public transport or even enough parking is a big fail. Don’t even start me on the coffee/drink situation.

So, in summary then: a modern multi-million dollar badly designed, user unfriendly, public transport disaster (like the Gabba), white elephant then. Lets all struggle to reach it, then stand in the hot sun without food or drink for hours while they sort the basic loading procedures out. What a brilliant first impression for any incoming travellers, and locals alike. Brought to you by your own tax funded Govt.

Would you need the wheelchair onboard the ship or in Brisbane? I’d suggest contacting short-term wheelchair hire places in Brisbane as a start.

Any idea how I can get a wheelchair at the terminal for a 2 week hire for my Mum please? Thanks in advance for any help!

It’s all very random at the moment. Even the roads getting there need attention. My best tip is to book your parking when you book your cruise. Cruising is here to stay now and that might encourage more people to offer options. There’s certainly a business opportunity there.

Do u think there will be more options on getting to the terminal in nov….seems pretty expensive at the moment.. I tried con-x-sions, but there times done suit…. Bit silly…u would think when cruise ships are in, someone would have a shuttle service running continuely, as a responsible price…‍

There’s a drop off pick up area outside the terminal were you can collect your friends. I’d suggest they call you when they are in the terminal and then you come to the pick up area as you only have a two minute window. It’s like picking up people from the airport.

How do you pick up friends from a cruise for a few hours while the ship is docked. How can we pick them up?

Brisbane, Australia

Located almost halfway between the Gold and Sunshine coast regions, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and Australia's third-largest city. Visitors can stroll through bamboo groves at an urban botanic garden, gorge on local delicacies amid live music at Eat Street Northshore, learn about the country's military history at the Anzac Square War Memorial and enjoy a cruise down the Brisbane River. Wildlife lovers should make time to get to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can not only cuddle one of the 130 koalas, but hand-feed kangaroos and observe a pair of platypuses. There's no shortage of scenic vantage points in this port, whether it's the observation deck on Mount Coot-tha, an enclosed capsule on the Wheel of Brisbane or along the stairs that lead you up the famous Story Bridge. If you're feeling adventurous, take in the panoramas from atop Kangaroo Point, then rappel down the side of its cliffs.
