P&O unwraps its next gem
SYDNEY – P&O Cruises Australia has announced the name of the next ship in its growing fleet – Pacific Pearl.
The 63,500-tonne superliner will join the cruise line the end of 2010.
The itinerary is being finalised with cruises set to go on sale from March this year.
Pacific Pearl will be P&O Cruises’ fourth ship, sailing alongside its two existing ships, superliner Pacific Dawn and the 47,000-tonne Pacific Sun, as well as its incoming superliner, Pacific Jewel, which will join the fleet in December this year.
“We wanted to choose a name for our next ship that reflected the magic of cruising the waters of the South Pacific,†Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival Australia which operates P&O Cruises, said.
“Pearls are such beautiful jewels and are also synonymous with Australia and this region so it seemed a good fit for this next step in the growth of our business.”
Presently sailing as Ocean Village in the UK, the 2000 passenger Pacific Pearl will undergo a refurbishment before she is deployed to Australia.
