P&O Cruises’ Pacific Sun Begins her First WA Cruise Season
Carnival Australia CEO Ann Sherry will announce a new boost for the Western Australian cruise
industry as P&O Cruises’ Pacific Sun arrives on December 16 for her inaugural summer season of
cruising.
Pacific Sun will be the first Australian ship to be based in Fremantle and will contribute about $3
million through passenger and crew spending and port fees to the local economy.
Pacific Sun’s deployment reflects the growth of the Western Australian local cruise industry, with
Carnival Australia cruise lines making a record 47 calls to ports in the state this summer cruise
season.
Carrying 1900 passengers, Pacific Sun will offer six cruises during her first season, including a
sampler cruise, four cruises to Indonesia and an eight-night coastal sailing. Arriving at Fremantle at
8am, Pacific Sun will set sail at 10pm on her three-night sampler cruise.
The 47,000-tonne Pacific Sun features a child-free Oasis spa retreat, an oceanview gym and
coffee bar, as well as five restaurants and cafes, multiple bars and lounges and two pools.
