Aboard MV Fantasea Ammarì
The
60-metre, 32-cabin MV Fantasea Ammarì has begun offering pleasure cruising
to the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef and the stunning Whitsunday islands.
MV Fantasea Ammarì is the latest tourism initiative by the Brisbane-based
Campbell family through its Riverside Marine Group. The vessel was purchased from
its Italian owners last year (2006) and underwent a "refresh" in Brisbane before
joining the Fantasea Cruising fleet of vessels in the Whitsundays.
MV Fantasea Ammarì offers 3 or 4 night cruises from Hamilton Island and Daydream
Island Resort & Spa - cruises depart on Fridays and return Tuesdays (with option for 3 night returning Mondays). Tariffs
start at $1,995 per person (twin share) and include accommodation and meals. Tariffs
are based on double/twin share and sole use.
Guests have a choice of three cabin decks which means passengers
can be close to the water or close to the stars. The Lighthouse Deck (highest of
the cabin decks) is free from public areas and offers a higher level of guest privacy;
the Coral Sea Deck (beneath the Lighthouse Deck) has easy access to the Lounge Bar
area; and the James Cook Deck (main deck) contains reception, boutique, restaurant
and swimming pool.
All of MV Fantasea Ammarì's cabins are fully carpeted
and have en-suite facilities. Cabins feature a wardrobe with safety box, flat screen
TV, luggage storage and fridge.
Many of MV Fantasea Ammarì's on board activities are included in the price
while others are optional extras. Also included in the price are some shore-based
activities and unlimited use of snorkelling equipment and kayaks.
MV Fantasea Ammarì also features a lounge bar with
dance floor, sun-deck bar, day spa, salon, fitness area, boutique and pool bar.
MV Fantasea Ammarì's cruising itinerary includes visits to icon destinations
such as the Reefworld adventure platform at Hardy Reef and the silica sands of Whitehaven
Beach as well as other dream locations.
