P&O celebrates WMD

P&O Cruises celebrated World Maritime Day (WMD) yesterday, saluting all international seafarers.

“World Maritime Day’s theme this year is gender equality and empowering women in the maritime community,” said P&O Cruises President Sture Myrmell.

“We are proud that so many women play such a big part in delivering our onboard product and cruise experiences for our guests,” Myrmell added.

P&O’s public face of the celebrations is Pacific Explorer Second Officer Amy Templeton, pictured, who has worked at sea for eight years.

“When people mention that it is good to see a female on the bridge, it is not something that I see as strange, it is just something that I fancied doing and I did it,” she said.
