Following an extensive transformation, Reefworld now operates only as an overnight pontoon, exclusively for Reefsleep and Reefsuite guests.
The new, overnight experience provides exclusive access to the pontoon, offering guests with premium dining and beverages, guided snorkelling with marine experts, and knowledgeable hosts who bring the reef’s stories to life.
Chris Tallent, CEO of Journey Beyond, says the launch marks a defining moment for the Great Barrier Reef, creating one of the world’s most immersive overnight reef experiences and reinforcing Australia’s position as a leader in nature-based tourism.
‘As part of Journey Beyond’s $40 million investment into the region, and continued premiumisation of its Cruise Whitsundays product portfolio, including the build of a new 36-metre catamaran, the refurbishment of Reefworld represents our commitment to taking guests further and elevating their experience on the Great Barrier Reef,’ Tallent says.
Reefsleep accommodation includes 16 four-poster Reefbeds complete with privacy screens for added comfort, as well as underwater Reefsuite rooms.
Reefworld highlights include a scenic return cruise through the Whitsunday Islands to the Outer Reef with priority boarding and reserved seating, Aqua Pool with stinger protection net, an underwater observatory and semi-submarine guided tour.
An overnight stay at Reefworld in Reefsleep is priced from A$895 per person double occupancy, A$920 solo occupancy. Overnight stay at Reefsuite is from A$1495 per person double occupancy, A$2,690 per person solo occupancy.
