Meanwhile, horse racing enthusiasts can travel to the "Race that Stops a Nation" , the Melbourne Cup, on one of two six-night cruises onboard Pacific Pearl and Pacific Jewel in November 2013 and 2014.
Several onboard events will include parades, competitions and sweepstakes taking place throughout the cruise.
