Pacific Star Prepares to Shine

Tuesday, 20 Oct, 2005 0

P&O Cruises Pacific Star is set to shine when she arrives in Brisbane in December, with a $20 million refit now underway.

P&O Cruises Australia officially took ownership of the ship overnight (Oct 19) from the Italian-based Costa Cruises, where she sailed as Costa Tropicale. 

The 35,000-ton Pacific Star will remain in Italy for five weeks for her refit before setting sail to her new homeport of Brisbane late November.

P&O Cruises Australia Managing Director Gavin Smith today welcomed Pacific Star to the fleet.

“We are very excited to have Pacific Star with us and are looking forward to seeing her arrive in Australia in December.”

Mr Smith said the refit followed the ship’s stunning $30 million refurbishment in 2001.

“This latest work will put the finishing touches on a very smart ship and ensure she is looking fantastic when she starts her inaugural Australian season.”
