Strong demand for longer cruises has prompted P&O Cruises to
offer new journeys to the Northern Territory, Tonga and Tahiti
on its superliner Pacific Dawn and sister ship, Pacific Sun,
next year. The voyages feature in P&O Cruises’ latest program, which offers
46 cruise holidays from Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland from May
2009 to January 2010 on the two popular ships. Fares start from
$945 per person quad-share for a seven-night South Pacific
cruise from Brisbane or $1261 for a nine-night cruise from
Sydney, including a 35 per cent Pricebreaker discount*.
The program also includes the debut of a new P&O Cruises’
destination, Port Denarau in Fiji. Adjacent to the Fijian
mainland, Denarau Island is home to magnificent resorts and a
range of exciting activities, from scuba diving to world-class
golf at Fiji Real Estate Resorts.
Denarau provides exceptional home and
property ownership opportunities at Fiji Hilton, Fiji Radisson,
Golf Terraces, and
Denarau
Island Lots from $500,000 US.

Announcing the new itineraries, Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival
Australia which operates P&O Cruises, said there was a growing
interest in longer cruise holidays among Australians.
“Our recent Explorer series of cruises to Tahiti and Asia has
been incredibly popular, prompting our decision to introduce
some new two-three week voyages in our latest P&O Cruises
program,” Ms Sherry said.
The new itineraries represented the company’s biggest program of
longer cruise offerings in 20 years, she said.
The new voyages include:
