Mooloolaba, Queensland

Set on the sun kissed shores of the Sunshine Coast, Mooloolaba is a cruise port that stands apart through its natural beauty, accessible shoreline, and a hospitality forward welcome. The sheltered harbour, palm lined promenade and iconic Mooloolaba Beach create an instant sense of relaxed sophistication that larger ports struggle to match. Signature experiences begin right on shore: a stroll along the harbour precinct to SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast for underwater encounters, a tasting of local prawns and reef fish at waterfront eateries, and easy day trips to Noosa's pristine beaches or the Glass House Mountains in the hinterland. The port's proximity to the hinterland and coast means diverse itineraries—soft adventure walks, hinterland vineyards, and wildlife encounters—are all within a short, scenic drive. Fleet features at Mooloolaba's docking facilities include a modern cruise terminal designed for smooth embarkation and disembarkation, deep water berths capable of accommodating mid-size and larger ships, and an onshore guest services hub that connects travellers with tailored shore excursions, private guides, and mobility assistance. Onboard services for guests visiting Mooloolaba benefit from the ships' own signature offerings—regional dining experiences that showcase local seafood, spa and wellness programs, enrichment lectures, and family-friendly entertainment—complemented by dedicated shore excursion teams that help customize a day ashore. Together, these elements make Mooloolaba a standout port choice, delivering a memorable Sunshine Coast experience with efficiency, comfort, and genuine Australian hospitality.
