Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba is South East Queensland's purpose-built home for large cruise ships and the principal cruise terminal for Brisbane.
Port of Brisbane lists one dedicated BICT cruise berth. The facility has a 208m physical wharf, but that figure should not be mistaken for maximum ship length: the berth incorporates a 450m berth pocket and four mooring dolphins and was specifically developed for mega cruise ships. Published alongside depth is approximately 14m.
The terminal is a substantial turnaround facility with a two-storey passenger building, immigration and quarantine areas, luggage handling, two passenger boarding bridges, coach/taxi/rideshare areas and extensive onsite parking.
BICT is located at the mouth of the Brisbane River because larger modern ships faced restrictions farther upstream. Port of Brisbane notes that ships longer than approximately 270m previously had to use cargo terminals. Those historical cargo berths are not counted by Deck7 as present-day cruise BONUS BERTHS.
The terminal is approximately 12km from Brisbane Airport and 21km from Brisbane CBD. Unlike Sydney's Circular Quay, this is not a walk-off-into-the-city terminal, so most passengers use transfers, taxis, rideshare or private transport.
