Queensland’s cruise line industry could be up and running within months, with the Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk today flagging the possibility of allowing small state-based holidays up and down the cast.

She said she will present National Cabinet with a proposal to allow fully vaccinated Queenslanders access to “small cruises”.

CEO of the Australian Cruise Association Jill Abel said it was a “glimmer of hope” for operators.

“Exciting to hear her spoke those words,” she told Scott Emerson.

“Queensland is just a great destination for cruising and I think that we need to get back and support the tourism operators.”

She said the cruise industry was committed to re-opening in a safe way.

She said the touchpoints were huge, including options for people to extend their holidays once the cruise is over.
