The purpose of the Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassador Program is to give each and every passenger a warm welcome to the Whitsundays.

The Volunteer Cruise Ship Ambassadors are a group of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about promoting the Whitsundays coordinated through Tourism Whitsundays. The program was established in 2004 as an initiative of the Airlie Beach Chamber of Commerce. Judi and Keith Dunn established and managed the program for the first 10 years. Five years ago, Brian Richardson took the reins. Recently the program has come to sit under the umbrella of Tourism Whitsundays

The volunteer ambassadors meet every cruise ship which anchors in the Whitsundays, they are at the forefront of welcoming passengers to Airlie Beach, providing maps, local information, answering questions and much more. The Ambassador Program started out by welcoming only 5 cruise ships in 2004. This number has increased 1,200% to welcoming 60 cruise ships in 2019. The group of loyal volunteer's have been there every step of the way ensuring our visiting cruise ship guests get a warm welcome and a wealth of local knowledge.

🐠 A fantastic Friday on the water! 🩵

Last Friday, our Cruise Ship Volunteers enjoyed a Glass Bottom Boat Tour aboard Bottoms Up, Pioneer Adventures custom 12-metre glass bottom boat!

Exploring the fringing reefs of The Whitsundays, our volunteers had the opportunity to learn about the incredible coral formations, tropical fish and marine life beneath the surface, with the Pioneer Adventures team sharing their knowledge and passion for our beautiful reef.

It was a fantastic way to experience the underwater wonders of the Whitsundays from above the surface!

A big thank you to the team at Pioneer Adventures for hosting our volunteers and sharing their local knowledge. What a wonderful way to start a Friday!
