P&O commits to Papua New Guinea

P&O Cruises has revealed it will offer six cruises dedicated to Papua New Guinea in its justreleased 2019/20 program.

The season will see one cruise to Papua New Guinea on Pacific Aria departing from Sydney in mid-Nov 2019 and five 10-night New Guinea Island Encounter cruises sailing from Brisbane.

The PNG cruises will take guests to Alotau, Kitava Island, Rabaul, Kiriwina Island & the Conflict Islands ( pictured).

“The Conflict Islands continue to prove extremely popular two years on from our first voyage and we’re pleased to offer this stunning corner of the world up to guests with a new itinerary from Sydney,” said P&O Cruises President Sture Myrmell.

P&O Cruises will also offer six one-way cruises to or from Singapore, with Pacific Explorer and Pacific Dawn to head to the destination for dry dock.

The new 2019/20 program packs in a total of 136 cruises including 64 SeaBreak cruises of two, three and four nights in duration departing Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.

In addition, there will be seven P&O main event cruises themed around the Australian Open, Christmas and the New Year, plus a fresh four-night Australia Day voyage from Brisbane departing 24 Jan 2020.

P&O will also offer 38 cruises to the South Pacific Islands between seven & 12 nights in length from Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.

“In our latest program we continue to offer cruises from more Australian home ports than any other cruise line in the market with round trip itineraries from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Auckland,” Myrmell said.
