Explore the Whitsundays

About Cruise Whitsundays

Based in Airlie Beach, we know how lucky we are to call the Whitsundays home and work hard to showcase the highlights of this incredible region to visitors from around the world.

Our Resort Connections, day cruises and activities can take you to the Great Barrier Reef, iconic Whitehaven Beach, must-see Hamilton Island, energetic Airlie Beach and the ocean and islands in between.

We also offer Reefsleep – a fabulous night under the stars on the outer Great Barrier Reef and Australia’s first underwater accommodation, Reefsuites. Be prepared for an intimate experience that will stay with you forever.

Great Barrier Reef Adventure Marine Life

Journey Beyond and Cruise Whitsundays acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout The Whitsundays and Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities.

We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging, and commit to building a brighter future together.
