It’a a case of Deja Vu for P&O as the water cannon tug boars escort Pacific Encounter into Sydney Harbour on Tuesday.

The ship is theĀ  second of the three-ship fleet to make her return.Ā  Pacific Explorer also had a grand entrance to the harbour.

P&O claim Pacific Encounterā€™s maiden arrival andĀ spectacular welcome to Sydney is also an opportunity to salute the harbour cityā€™s hero tugsĀ andĀ other maritime champions who keep our waterways safe.

And who wouldn’t want to do that.

But Pacific Encounter will soon be calling Brisbane home to spearhead the rebuilding of cruising in the north.
