Airlie Beach Cruise Ship Timetable 2024

Posted on 10 July 2024

Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays is a growing hot spot for cruise ship stop overs, with passengers enjoying the year round warm weather and the local day activities. The two main ports for arrival are Port of Airlie & Shute Harbour Marina. Most cruise ships offer their passengers ferry transfers and buses into town. Airlie Beach locals always put on a good show for tourists coming off the ships, often setting up market stalls along the Main Street with local goods and surrounding restaurants keep the vibes high with music and great food! 

Reef Star Cruises have had a long history of providing ferry transport from the ships to the ports with our specialty passenger vessels. 

If you're looking to explore off the beaten track, head out to Northerlies Beach Bar & Grill! It's just a 15 minute drive from the town centre and offers a free courtesy bus on Friday - Sundays!
