- Summary:
-
Cruise ships are permitted to access a number of cruise ship anchorages in the Marine Park, however at present, the majority of ships only visit Cid Harbour in the Whitsundays and only once or twice per year, typically in the months of January, February and March. In addition, some cruise ships use the anchorages at Cid Harbour and Hardy Reef some 8 to 10 times per year. These visits are usually between March and December. In 1998 there were 12 cruise ships that anchored in the Whitsundays for a total of 16 visits. In 1999 it is expected that there will be 11 cruise ships and 19 visits. For 2000 there are already bookings for 8 cruise ships and 18 visits. A local cruise ship company has operated weekly 3 and 4 night cruises from Cairns for the past 7 years. Other 'expedition' class cruise ships, typically carrying up to 200 passengers, would prefer to use a range of anchorages throughout the Marine Park. There are only a small number of these cruise ships but it is a growing sector of the cruise industry. This type of cruise ship is currently seeking new cruise destinations in the Far Northern Section of the Marine Park.
