ALDI Holidays and Tourism & Events Queensland are giving Sydneysiders the “ultimate commute upgrade” this Thursday (5 March) with the arrival of the ALDI Holidays Super Ferry.
For one day only, the iconic Manly to Circular Quay journey will undergo a “full‑scale transformation into a Queensland holiday inspired luxury yacht experience”.
Showcasing the value ALDI Holidays delivers in partnership with Tourism & Events Queensland, the retailer says everyday commuters can enjoy a super yacht escape for just $5. Four voyages will be available, setting sail from Manly at 7am, 9am, 11am and 1pm.
Comedian and TV personality Joel Creasey will be at the super ferry helm. Joining the crew as the super ferry’s honorary captain, Mr Creasey will welcome morning commuters, guiding them through “Queensland zones”.
The super yacht experience coincides with ALDI Holidays launching a Queensland holidays deals “bonanza”, with 17 deals on offer, delivering getaways across the state at “unmistakably ALDI prices”.
Upon arrival at Manly Wharf and boarding of the super ferry, commuters will step into a series of fully immersive Queensland holiday zones, each celebrating a different corner of Queensland and an ALDI Holidays deal on offer exclusively in March:
- The Whitsundays Lounge
- Great Barrier Reef Table Scape
- The Gold Coast Beach Bar
- Daintree Rainforest Den
- Sunshine Coast Sun Deck
- ALDI Holidays Travel Desk
ALDI Australia Group Director Simon Padovani-Ginies says ALDI Holidays is all about flipping expectations of what ‘affordable’ travel can look like.
“The Super Ferry is the ALDI Holidays way of showing that you don’t have to be a millionaire to feel like you’re on a luxury escape,” he says.
“We know Australians are craving experiences that feel special but still make sense for the household budget. ALDI Holidays brings together incredible destinations, trusted partners and transparent pricing. In celebration of this, the Super Ferry is our big, joyful invitation to start dreaming about a Queensland escape.”
All funds from commuter tickets will be donated direct to ALDI’s national charity partner, Camp Quality.
