About Cruiserpalooza
Cruiserpalooza is more than your normal cruise expo — it’s a celebration of cruising!
Presented by Globe Trotters Cruise & Touring – Mudgeeraba, Cruiserpalooza brings some of the world's leading cruise lines, touring companies and travel experts together right here on the Gold Coast.
Whether you're an experienced cruiser or planning your very first voyage, this is your chance to discover what's new, explore incredible destinations and find the style of cruising that's right for you.
From ocean and river cruising to luxury, expedition, small-ship, family and solo travel, there is a whole world to discover.
Meet the experts, ask questions, get inspired and discover special offers — all in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment.
An Award-Winning Cruise Event
And we're pretty proud of what Cruiserpalooza has become.
Globe Trotters has been nominated for industry awards two years in a row, recognising the creativity, passion and work that goes into bringing our cruise events to the Gold Coast community.
Following the success of last year's expo, in 2026 Globe Trotters was awarded the CLIA Marketing Award as well as the Envoyage Cruise Excellence Award.
For us, these awards aren't just about recognition — they're a sign that our slightly different approach works.
We don't want to create just another expo.
We want to create a cruise event people actually enjoy attending.
About Globe Trotters Cruise & Touring
We love travel. We know cruising. And we love our local community.
Globe Trotters is a family-owned travel business that has been helping people explore the world since 2007.
Based in the heart of Mudgeeraba, our experienced team specialises in cruising and touring, from that first exciting cruise through to luxury voyages, European rivers, expedition cruising, small-group touring and once-in-a-lifetime adventures around the world.
We believe planning a holiday should be part of the experience. It's not just about finding a cabin or booking a fare — it's about understanding you, where you want to go, how you like to travel and finding the experience that fits.
That philosophy is exactly why we created Cruiserpalooza.
We wanted to bring the cruise industry to our own backyard and create an event where the Gold Coast community can meet the people behind the brands, learn from genuine cruise experts, discover new ideas and start turning those bucket-list dreams into real adventures.
