Port Douglas - Marina Mirage is the home port for the magnificent and opulent cruiser-Enterprise. This vessel is at the ultra-luxury end of the market and caters mainly to celebrities and CEOs as well as the romantics determined to make a statement to someone special in a big way.
Before cruising or on your return take a few days to explore the surrounding Port Douglas environs. The main street, Macrossan Street, is home to swanky boutiques, funky bars, chic galleries, classy eateries and cashed-up national and international tourists. Yet the town, 70km north of Cairns, has mainly avoided the beachfront high-rise development that has plagued coastal hot-spots further south on the Queensland coastline.
Its neighbours - the Daintree, Cape Tribulation National Park and Mossman Gorge - don't do its reputation any harm, either. Enjoy the natural beauty of this tropical heaven. Four Mile Beach is truly like stepping into a postcard, with palm trees dangling their fronds over the peach-coloured sand and coconuts dotted along the water's edge.
The Port Douglas Reef and Rainforest Carnivale, held annually in May, is an ideal time to visit the town weather-wise and brings something extra to the trip with a series of wine and food events, performances, art exhibits, a parade and a family beach day.
Getting to Port Douglas
Virgin Blue and Qantas both offer daily flights from many Australian cities to Cairns International Airport putting the pleasures of the tropical North Queensland right at your door step. Transfers can easily be arranged for the short drive north. Just ask!
Location
Marina Mirage, Port Douglas, Tropical North Queensland
