| Marking 50 years of the Cup

P&O Cruises marked 50 years of cruising to the Melbourne Cup in style this week, with Australian model Fiona Falkiner (pictured) leading Pacific Explorer’s “Fashions at Sea” event.

Joining Falkiner on board to entertain passengers was race calling royalty Greg Miles, two-time Melbourne Cup winning jockey John Letts, and the trainers of Cup winning horses, Brian Jenkins (Jezabeel in 1998) and Sheila Laxon (Ethereal in 2001).

The six-night cruise departed Sydney on 31 Oct before guests arrived in Melbourne in time to watch the race that stops the nation – giddy-up!
