Darwin Cruise Ship Terminal

A new Darwin cruise ship terminal has been built for the increasing cruise passenger numbers as the convention centre and waterfront developments make Darwin an even more attractive destination.

As part of the overall development of the Darwin waterfront, the terminal includes facilities for passenger queuing, immigration, customs, quarantine and baggage collection.

This is a modern air-conditioned terminal with covered walkway, plenty of car parking and public amenities in an attractive landscaped setting.

The terminal is large enough to accommadate a mini-market of Darwins products that are naturally of interest to cruise ship passengers.

Darwin is a popular destination. Passenger numbers from cruise ships rose in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and there are an increasing number of visits scheduled for 2010.

The Darwin wharf precinct also includes two new hotels, a multi-storey car park for up to 500 vehicles and a wave pool for safe swimming.

Public art displays will help engage visitors with the Northern Territory's thriving art community and set the tone for a unique tropical experience.
