P&O Cruises has made the decision to send its ships Arcadia and Aurora into Brisbane following the region’s devastating floods.
The operator says the two will be the first cruise ships to call into Brisbane since Queensland’s tragic freak weather. Arcadia will sail in on February 15 and Aurora on February 27, both as part of the operator’s world cruise programme.
P&O Cruises managing director Carol Marlow said: “We have a long-time affiliation with Australia and the destinations we visit play a big part in the holiday experience for our passengers.
“Therefore it is important for us to support Australia in times of need. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to people of Brisbane and we will be doing all we can to show our support as they recover from the floods.
“We will be asking our passengers and crew to donate any spare Australian dollars they have during their holiday on board to go towards re-building Brisbane to the city we all know and love”.
