Operating the last remaining working cargo vessel to carry passengers in Australia.

A unique award-winning cruise to the tip of Australia


For 48 weeks of the year, our flagship vessel – the MV Trinity Bay – travels from Cairns to the Torres Strait and back again.

On this route the vessel carries vital supplies to a number of communities, and passengers get to experience what life is like in this stunning part of the world.

For five nights, the MV Trinity Bay traverses the stunning waterways of the Coral Sea and the Torres Strait, loading and unloading like a well-oiled machine.

Passengers experience a mixture of stunning landscapes, cultural interaction, abundant history, life on the sea, and the camaraderie of cruising.

This cruise is so popular that it can be booked out 12 months in advance, and there are passengers that make it an annual pilgrimage, with some travellers having completed the trip an incredible 30 times or more.

In recent years, the MV Trinity Bay cruise has won numerous tourism awards and been featured in media around the world.

Due to the Trinity Bay cruise’s popularity, Sea Swift is now looking to expand our cruise operation, opening up passenger travel to other remote parts of northern Australia, creating more unique holiday experiences on working vessels.

The Trinity Bay Cruise has many options (timelines are subject to weather and tides):

  • Return – Cairns to Cairns (board Cairns on Tuesdays, arrive Horn Island on Thursday mornings, arrive Thursday Island on Thursday afternoons, arrive Seisia on Friday mornings, disembark Cairns on Sundays)
  • One-Way – Cairns to either Horn Island/Thursday Island/Seisia depending on your needs.  Both Horn Island and Seisia (Bamaga) have airports with service to/from Cairns, and there is a road from Cairns to Seisia which is open for the majority of the year.

How you tailor your trip is up to you, with the certainty that you’ll enjoy the food, the company, the knowledge of how remote northern Australian freight works, and a totally unique experience to go back and tell your friends and family about!
