Airlie Beach in Queensland's Whitsundays is a popular destination for holiday-makers across the globe, particularly cruise ship enthusiasts. Airlie's superb climate and year-round sunshine is what makes the town so inviting to travellers. Not to mention its close proximity to the world-famous Great Barrier Reef and 74 Whitsunday Islands. With so many contributing factors to why the Whitsundays is the ultimate holiday destination it's no wonder cruise ships dock in Airlie Beach.

The cruise ships that visit the Whitsundays dock in Pioneer Bay, just out the front of the charming town of Airlie Beach. From there, cruise ship guests travel via ferry to the Port of Airlie where they are then free to roam the town and explore. There are plenty of day tours and activities available for passengers wanting to see more of what Airlie Beach has to offer. 

Below you can find the Airlie Beach cruise ship schedule for 2024.
