Choose a P&O Cruises holiday and the options are endless.
Cast aside any worries about what you will do all day on a cruise ship. After all, what other holiday could offer a diverse collection of islands, sights and cultures in one trip? Your days on board can be as much as a highlight as your days ashore. From the moment you wake up aboard a P&O Cruise ship, you’ll be spoilt for choice with things to do. There are just so many activities to choose from - perhaps a pre-breakfast visit to the fitness centre followed by a morning swim, a tabletennis game, duty-free shopping or an arts and craft class?
You can check out the changing view from the sunbathing deck, then after a delicious lunch in one of the ship’s many dining venues or buffets, you might sign up for a dance lesson. You can also learn how to play traditional shuffleboard, visit the library and email friends, test your general knowledge at a trivia quiz, visit the spa for a relaxing massage or even enjoy a game of bingo! And, of course kids are catered for with all day activities available in one of three children’s centres. After dinner, the night’s fun begins with an exciting array of entertainment including musical performances, comedy shows, cabaret, DJs, live bands and dancing.

Pacific Sun Destinations
Cruising is the ideal speed for travelling. At sea you’ll live life at a different pace - no traffic and no rigid routines. If you want to do nothing but snooze, swim, read and sunbathe, that’s fine. However, if you’d like to go shopping, take some exercise or a dance class, luxuriate in the spa, learn shuffleboard or a new hobby, they’re all there for the taking. While your aboard, there’s always something you’ll love to do every day and every night. Australia’s favourite ship has now begun cruising out of Brisbane. A fully-fledged floating resort geared to providing endless choices will take you on a holiday you’ll never want to end.
