P&O’s pause

P&O Cruises Australia has joined Carnival Cruise Line (CW yesterday) in extending its pause in operations in Australasia until 31 Aug.

“Australia and New Zealand have led the world in flattening the COVID-19 curve, which adds to our optimism for the future,” enthused P&O Cruises Australia boss Sture Myrmell.

“We also recognise a further extension is the prudent and responsible course.”

Itineraries directly affected include Dawn’s scheduled Brisbane departures between 16 Jun and 26 Aug and Explorer’s Sydney departures between 24 Jun and 24 Aug.
