The Whitsundays is off to a flying start in 2025, breaking records left, right, and centre!
In just two months, The Whitsundays has welcomed 27 cruise ships, bringing over 66,000 passengers to our region. Around 52,000 of them have stepped off to soak up the sun, explore Airlie Beach and beyond and support local businesses. And it’s not slowing down—another 13 cruise ships are set to arrive in March, proving The Whitsundays is a must-stop destination for cruise lovers.
Whitsunday Coast Airport has smashed records of its own, with over 50,000 passengers passing through in January - its busiest month ever! With direct flights connecting us to major cities and even more routes on the horizon, it’s never been easier to visit our slice of paradise.
More visitors mean more buzz, more business and more love for our beautiful region - we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.
