CRUISE WHITSUNDAYS CELEBRATES 20 YEARS

This week Cruise Whitsundays proudly marks its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of delivering world‐class experiences and pioneering innovation in the Whitsundays.
From the introduction of Australia’s first luxury underwater accommodation on The Great Barrier Reef, to timeless adventures on Camira Sailing Adventure, Great Barrier Reef Adventure, and Whitehaven Beach tours, Cruise Whitsundays has been at the forefront of showcasing the region’s unparalleled natural beauty.
The jewel in Cruise Whitsundays crown is Reefworld, the only permanently moored pontoon in the Whitsundays outer Great Barrier Reef. It provides an unforgettable way to explore the reef, with guests able to spend the night on the Reef sleep deck or enjoy the unique experience of Reefsuites, Australia's first underwater accommodation, where they can sleep surrounded by the beauty of the reef.
While these unique offerings have delighted guests, Cruise Whitsundays continues to honour its classic experiences that have stood the test of time. The Camira Sailing Adventure remains a much‐loved choice, offering a perfect blend of sailing, snorkelling, and beachside relaxation.
The Great Barrier Reef Adventure takes visitors on an unforgettable journey to explore one of the world’s most renowned natural treasures, while tours to Whitehaven Beach, famous for its untouched white sands and crystal‐clear waters, are an essential experience for any visitor to the Whitsundays. In addition to sharing these incredible places with the world, Cruise Whitsundays has played an active role in supporting the local Whitsundays community.
Over the past 20 years, the company has contributed to the region by sponsoring events, offering prize giveaways, and employing hundreds of locals. This long‐standing commitment has helped foster a strong connection between Cruise Whitsundays and the Whitsunday community.
General Manager Renee Branton‐Brown expressed her pride in the company's journey:
"Celebrating 20 years is a wonderful milestone. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to share the Whitsundays with so many guests, helping them create memories that last a lifetime. Our focus has always been on sustainably showcasing the natural beauty of the region and supporting the community that makes it so special."
As Cruise Whitsundays looks to the future, the company remains committed to sharing the unique beauty of the Whitsundays with the world, creating experiences that shape lasting memories for guests.
