MV Fantasea Ammari

MV Fantasea Ammari is a stylish cruising vessel offering 3 and 4 night cruises to the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef and the stunning Whitsunday Islands. MV Fantasea Ammari is a boutique cruising experience featuring visits to magical destinations such as Whitehaven beach, Blue Pearl Bay & Fantasea's Reefworld adventure platform at Hardy Reef.

This 60 metre, 32 cabin Whitsunday cruise boat is large enough to ensure privacy and yet small enough for supremely attentive and personal service. Guests on MV Fantasea Ammari have a choice of three cabin decks which means passengers can be close to the water or close to the stars.

Facilities on MV Fantasea Ammari include a lounge bar with dance floor, sun-deck bar, day spa, salon, fitness area, boutique and pool bar.

Itinerary Options

Day 1 After welcome drinks, MV Fantasea Ammari sets sail and cruises the Whitsunday passage past the same islands Captain Cook first admired some 240 years ago. The first destination is the stunning coves and beaches that make Daydream Island exactly what the name promises. From Daydream Island we set off once again, this time towards your first night anchorage. A cool evening breeze and glass of champagne tantalise your senses as dinner is served. The night is young. Sit back. Relax.

Day 2 The next few days reveals what is so great about the Great Barrier Reef. Swimming, snorkelling and diving the world's most beautiful underwater haven. As a Fantasea guest you have exclusive access to Reefworld, our very own floating island from which you spend a morning exploring the Reef. Views of the Reef from above can be pre-booked with our helicopter service. From the Reef, we cruise to our overnight anchorage off Whitehaven Beach, one of the Whitsunday's world famous icons where you can relax and enjoy the white silica sand and crystal clear water of this natural extravaganza. The more adventurous may wish to walk to the lookout at Hill Inlet and wonder at the 7km of beach stretching out in splendor before you. Take part in kayaking or beach games or just do nothing at all and watch the world go by. It's that simple. A sumptuous dinner is followed by an evening of entertaining choices. Singing. Dancing. Tonight is all about you.

Day 3 After a sumptuous breakfast, we cruise to another of Whitsundays' award-winning islands, Hayman Island where we anchor for the night. The day is spent visiting beautiful Blue Pearl Bay, one of the region's magnificent snorkelling locations with amazing coral and marine life. As the aromas of delicate tastes fill the air dinner is served and the night is spent dancing, singing or simply relaxing.

Day 4 After breakfast in the morning, we spend some quality time at Black Island just off Hayman Island, locally known as Bali Hai. Great for snorkelling! Then it's off on a leisurely cruise to Hamilton Island to say goodbye to our 3 night cruise guests who will look with great envy when we cruise off in a southerly direction to our next Whitsunday destination, Lindeman Island.

Day 5 Lindeman Island, once visited by Royalty, is the home of Club Med in Australia and has a beautiful golf course which has one of the most scenic backdrops in Australia. The last night of our 4 night cruise is spent anchored off this beautiful Island. Experience the magnificent views at dusk before sitting down to yet another delicious dinner followed by a fabulous last night of entertainment.
