P&O stands up for charity

Thursday, 05 Nov, 2012 0

P&O Cruises has taken advantage of a three-day visit to Melbourne by two of its superliners – Pacific Pearl and Pacific Jewel – to change the outside furniture on hundreds of cabin balconies.

As a result, more than 600 teak deckchairs and tables have been donated to crisis support charity Lifeline and will be sold in its stores from later this month.

The donation is part of an ongoing relationship with Lifeline, which sees P&O Cruises assist the charity with a wide variety of surplus material from its ships and offices.

Previous donations include coffee tables, lamps, artwork and blankets.

Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival Australia, which operates P&O Cruises, said, "Deck chairs and tables are really classic cruise items – so they are the perfect way to capture the spirit of a relaxing cruise holiday at home."
