Join Santa in the South Pacific these Summer Holidays
Date: 08 Sep 2006
Escape with the family this summer and enjoy an idyllic South Pacific Christmas or a tropical New Year, by booking a great value festive-season P&O Cruises Australia holiday package.
The kids will love the excitement of Santa’s arrival at sea on Christmas Day, while parents will love not having to prepare, cook and clean up after Christmas dinner.
With all main meals, accommodation, personal cabin steward, kids clubs and entertainment included in the one fare, booking a P&O Cruises Australia holiday has to be one of the best value Christmas gifts around.
Great family holiday packages are available on P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Sun sailing from Sydney or Pacific Star from Brisbane, including:
• A 10-night Christmas cruise on Pacific Sun to New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands and Vanuatu from $1713 per person*, in a four-berth family stateroom, departing Sydney on December 17, 2006.
• An 11-night Christmas cruise on Pacific Star to New Caledonia and Vanuatu from $1996 per person*, in a four-berth family stateroom, departing Brisbane on December 16, 2006.
• A seven-night summer school holiday cruise on Pacific Star to New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands and Vanuatu from $1308 per person*, in a four-berth family stateroom, departing Brisbane on January 6, 2007.
Additional summer holiday cruise deals are also available throughout December 2006 and January 2007, but the packages can only be booked until October 31, 2006 – so be quick.
More than a quarter of all passengers who travel with P&O Cruises annually are families.
With fully supervised kids clubs, staffed by qualified teachers and child care workers, it is no wonder that kids love sailing away on holiday and parents adore the chance to sit back and totally relax. Then when the ship arrives at its destination, fascinating cultures await, along with stunning snorkelling and swimming experiences in turquoise lagoons and tropical ports and islands to be explored.
Both Pacific Star and Pacific Sun offer a huge choice of itineraries with an abundance of ports dotted throughout the South Pacific and north Queensland, including breathtaking islands in Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia, the stunning Whitsundays and tropical Cairns and Port Douglas.
At 47,000 tons, the 1900-passenger Pacific Sun provides endless fun and games with a huge 35-metre waterslide and three kids’ clubs guaranteeing entertainment for all ages, as well as five restaurants and cafes, multiple bars and lounges and two pools.
The 35,000-ton Pacific Star offers four dining venues, three swimming pools, wide open decks, choice of queen or twin bed configurations in most cabins, four kids’ clubs including the first Teen Centre at sea, a gym, casino, indulgent spa sanctuary and three whirlpool spas.
