read moreThe family owned Captain Cook Cruises has announced that its Australian tourism business is being sold to SeaLink Travel Group.
In exchange for an undisclosed sum, SeaLink will get Captain Cook Cruises' 15 Sydney Harbour vessels and an accommodated paddle wheeler cruise operation in South Australia's River Murray along with "related infrastructure, marina berths and licenses."
The Fijian operations of Captain Cook Cruises are not included in the transaction, a statement from the company read.
The 300 or so employees of Captain Cook are expected to be retained as Anthony Haworth is appointed as General Manager and Jackie Haworth-Charlton remains as Director of Sales.
Captain Cook Cruises founder Captain Trevor Haworth explained "as a family business, we have always placed enormous value on our staff, customer and business relationships. It is very satisfying to know that SeaLink shares these same values.
"SeaLink is the ideal tourism partner to add further investment and grow this business even further."
With this purchase SeaLink is now one of the largest employers in the tourism industry.
