P&O doubles up for Melbourne Cup
SYDNEY – P&O Cruises has expanded its range of short break and theme cruises. Included are 16 voyages of less than a week.
One of the highlights will be a three-night Australia Day cruise in 2012 giving passengers the chance to enjoy the special events and fireworks on Sydney Harbour before heading out to sea.
The cruise line will also sail an extra six-night Melbourne Cup cruise from Sydney, with Pacific Pearl joining Pacific Jewel on the traditionally sold-out voyage in November 2011.
P&O Cruises has expanded its popular food and wine themed cruises beyond the Hunter to explore a range of other renowned Australian destinations.
Pacific Jewel will bring a taste of South Australia’s Barossa region to Sydney for a three-night short break in July 2011 and Pacific Sun will explore Western Australia’s gourmet food and wine offerings in August 2011.
On sale from April 6, the new programme offers 50 different itineraries on four ships sailing from five homeports between July 2011 and March 2012.
Sydney will benefit from 25 per cent more cruise departures with the city’s own Pacific Jewel being joined for a season by Pacific Pearl and Pacific Sun in 2011.
