As we work with Australia's eastern seaboard state governments on the gradual restart of the P&O Cruises Australia fleet, we are thrilled to confirm Australian cruising will RESUME with Pacific Explorer® cruising from Sydney on 31 May 2022.

Pacific Adventure® is now scheduled to begin her maiden season, from Sydney on 22 October 2022, and the Brisbane debut of Pacific Encounter® is now scheduled for 20 August 2022.

To mark this incredible moment, we have released a number of new cruises through 2022.

These are AVAILABLE NOW!

Please check our Cruise Restart page for all the details.

In the interim, effective from 15 March 2022, we announced the cancellation of Pacific Adventure® and Pacific Encounter® departures between 1 June 2022 and 14 October 2022.

We are however pleased to add that some of the affected Pacific Adventure Sydney departures will be scheduled to take place onboard Pacific Explorer® with similar itineraries.

We are also excited to announce that we are releasing a brand new selection of voyages for Pacific Explorer between 31 May and 28 November 2022. These are on sale NOW.
