Gold Coast SUNS Senior Coach Damien Hardwick will be departing in 2025 to set sail, after the club today announced My Cruises as the official Coaches Partner of the SUNS.
The award-winning My Cruises, recently named Australasian Cruise Agency of the Year (Multi Location/Brand) at the CLIA Awards, is part of a family of well-known brands, including My Holiday and My Queensland.
The partnership will see the My Cruises branding featured heavily on Damien Hardwick’s coaching group, including coaches polos and signage in the coaches box on matchdays.
To celebrate today’s announcement, My Cruises are launching a competition for SUNS members and fans, offering the chance to win a 7-day South Pacific cruise with Royal Caribbean, valued at $7,500 (more details below).

The holiday specialists who were established in 2005 and are proudly Gold Coast based, are renowned for being the trailblazers in travel, aligning perfectly with the SUNS’ desire to be innovative, fearless and at the forefront of change.
Gold Coast SUNS Chief Executive Officer Mark Evans welcomed My Cruises to the SUNS family.
“We’re thrilled to have a partner like My Cruises join our club at such a pivotal time in our journey,” Evans said.
“Just like the Gold Coast SUNS, My Cruises strive to be innovative, bold and have a relentless drive to win in their field, which allows for strong brand synergies between our two organisations.
“My Cruises will have a significant presence among our AFL Coaches’ program, and we are excited about what this partnership will mean for our members and fans, with some massive promotions on the agenda in 2025.”
SUNS members and fans can expect to see My Cruises giving away Royal Caribbean cruises throughout the season, plus more exclusive offers to SUNS members.
There will also be opportunities to win holiday vouchers with activations across the home games at People First Stadium.
