A great way to see the Great Barrier Reef is by taking a cruise on a ship. There are many ships providing cruising opportunities on Australia's most picturesque coastline. A variety of vessels – big and small offer you memorable trips to experience natural underwater marvels.
You can get aboard popular cruise lines like the Santa Maria, Coral Princess or Coral Sea Dreaming offering journeys of 2 to 7 days. Smaller crafts provide day long cruising for the short-on-time visitor. Some cruises have water based activities lined up if you are so inclined. Otherwise you could enjoy the experience from the sundeck.
Cruises offer halts along diving and snorkeling locations on the Great Barrier Reef. Coral reef lovers focus on snorkeling and diving experiences on special night cruises. These cruises take you to visit and explore Lizard Island, Dunk Island and Magnetic Island.
If you happen to be a group of ten, then you could get aboard Coral Sea Dreaming for a 2 day/1 night personalized cruising trip. This cruise offers trips to areas like Thetford, Moore and Briggs that are located east of Cairns.
