Young cruisers travelling with P&O Cruises will have a new place to meet friends and ‘hang out’ when a new youth headquarters is introduced in September 2009.
HQ will cater for passengers aged between 11 – 17 years old, offering a wide range of activities including air hockey, karaoke, sport tournaments and hip hop dance classes.
The introduction of 11 and 12 year olds to HQ comes after feedback from young cruisers and their parents.
There will be opportunities for 11 – 14 years olds to participate in separate activities to those aged 15 – 17 years to cater for their interests.
Sture Myrmell, Vice President Hotel Operations for P&O Cruises, said the introduction of HQ reflects the changing interests of our younger guests.
“The new youth headquarters caters for a broader age group than before, however, the activities they participate in will still be suited to their interests and needs,” Mr Myrmell said.
“HQ is an exciting new initiative to ensure our young guests, and their parents, have an enjoyable holiday. All the activities are fully supervised by experienced and qualified team leaders.”
From 1 September 2009, Sydney-based Pacific Dawn and Brisbane‘s Pacific Sun will offer two kids clubs - Turtle Cove for three to six year olds and Shark Shack for those aged seven to ten years – and HQ, a centre for 11 – 17 year olds.
