P&O offers new Asian cruises
P&O Cruises is celebrating 75 years of cruising from Australia with the launch of a range of exciting new cruise options, including a new season of Asian cruises from Singapore.
P&O Cruises Australia Managing Director Gavin Smith said “As we enter our 75th year of cruising from Australia, an increasing number of Australian holidaymakers are discovering the pleasures of cruising. It’s this strong demand that’s prompted us to increase our fleet size and extend our range of cruise options.”
Mr Smith said Pacific Star would be based in Singapore for an extensive season of seven-night Asia cruises from April to October 2008, visiting a range of stunning destinations in Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia.
The cruises, which will depart each Saturday, will offer Australians a great way to experience the exotic culture of Asia while enjoying all the comforts of their “home away from home” Pacific Star.
The ship’s ‘Western Tropics’ cruise will feature visits to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi and Malacca in Malaysia as well as Phuket in Thailand. The ‘Eastern Sunsets’ itinerary includes visits to the idyllic Thai ports of Koh Samui and Hua Hin as well as the Thai capital of Bangkok and exotic Sihanoukville in Cambodia. The two different itineraries can also be combined for an amazing 14-night voyage with 10 different ports of call.
Prices for a seven-night Asia cruise will start from $988 per person quad-share and $1524 per person twin-share.
