P&O’s Cup fashions

P&O Cruises celebrated the race that stops a nation in style, with almost 2,000 guests on board Pacific Explorer treated to the “Fashions at Sea” catwalk show for Melbourne Cup yesterday.

Included in the lineup was the world’s first professional supermodel with Down Syndrome, Madeline Stuart, pictured, as the headline act.

Carnival Australia Chair Ann Sherry said P&O was proud to welcome the globally recognised model on board.

“This year P&O celebrates 49 years of cruising to the cup and as a modern Australian cruise brand we support diversity and inclusion in society and appreciate the differences that people such as Madeline bring,” Sherry said.
