P&O names its newest ship, the Pacific Adventure

Six P&O Cruises Facebook fans have picked a name for the line’s newest, and biggest ship.

The Pacific Adventure, which is currently sailing as Princess Cruises’ Golden Princess, will be transformed into a brand new ship, for one of Australia’s favourite cruise lines. “We’re thrilled to have another ship on the horizon that will continue the exciting evolution of our modern Australian cruise product. We have grand plans for Pacific Adventure and we can’t wait to take our guests on unforgettable adventures across Australia and the South Pacific,” said Mr Myrmell, President of P&O Cruises. Pacific Adventure will build on the fresh contemporary design of her sister, Pacific Explorer, with a 3100-guest capacity and an array of dining experiences including concepts from Australian chef and restaurateur Luke Mangan and award-wining Melbourne chef Johnny Di Francesco. She will also sport child-free Oasis retreat across multiple decks, offering sun lounges, spa tubs, a swimming pool and dedicated bar, as well as a venue to enjoy live blues, soul and R&B. With an expanded range of cabin options including 560 balcony rooms, 230 suites and mini suites and the fleet’s first five-berth family cabins, the ship will offer something for everyone. She is scheduled to join the cruise line’s family in October 2020. The first program featuring Pacific Adventure will go on sale next month and include sailings through to the end of 2020.
