Aquarium voted the best
VIKING cruise passengers have rated the Cairns Aquarium as their number one favourite experience of all shore excursions offered by the cruise operator in December 2023 and February 2024.
Each tour operated by Viking is rated and the guests use their Viking app to rate each experience they participated in and the Cairns Aquarium received the highest score globally.
The pre-organised, custom designed tour involved staff from Shorex Australia greeting cruise ship passengers as they disembarked each ship, transfers from the cruise ship terminal using airconditioned coaches, staff from the aquarium’s education team providing information about the unique ecology of the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics ecosystems to visitors on the coaches and then being dropped off at the aquarium,
Shorex Australia managing director James Coughlan said that being voted number one was a highlight of his 25-year career.
“Viking passengers enjoy seeing the world’s top attractions, experiences and destinations while cruising, so to have the Cairns Aquarium educational visit voted as the ‘best in the world’ out of all experiences in December and February is an incredible highlight for myself and our passionate team,” he said.
