PENTHOUSE suites, live jazz
and private dining – the new
Pacific Eden and Pacific Aria are
set to break the mould for P&O
Australia when they join the fleet
in Nov this year.
Boosting P&O to five vessels,
the additions continue the
line’s upmarket push which also
includes the elimination of the
traditional and time-honoured
cruise ship buffet (CW 23 Mar).
“Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden
represent the next generation of
P&O ships inspired by modern
Australia,” said P&O senior vice
president Sture Myrmell.
“The new onboard features will
drastically change the overall look
and feel of our ships…it will be
a relaxed vibe, casual enough to
bring the sand in from the beach
but with a touch of sophistication
that will feel luxurious and
indulgent,” Myrmell said.
Revealed in the latest brochure,
the new offerings will include
The Blue Room, “an opulent and
intimate space…reminiscent of a
New Orleans speakeasy”.
There will also be a new Ocean
Bar and a private dining room
for the popular Chef’s Table
experience, along with the
continuation of Salt Grill by Luke
Mangan.
A new-look Lido pool will have
an “in-vogue residential resort
feel,” with Myrmell saying the
extra ships will give Australians “a
boutique cruise experience yearround
right from their doorstep”.
Eden and Aria will emerge from
a dry dock in Singapore in Nov
