Pacific Encounter, the new ship acquired by P&O Cruises Australia, has departed the shipyard in Singapore after completing the first part of her refurbishment.
The ship now features the P&O Cruises Australia livery and large funnel logo, which is 20 metres wide and eight metres high. She has also been fitted out with several of the cruise line’s signature features, including a multi-storey atrium with a modern Australian décor.
Dining outlets including the Waterfront Restaurant, Dragon Lady and Angelo’s have been added, while new venues onboard the ship will include a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria from Melbourne chef Johnny Di Francesco and several outlets from chef and restauranteur Luke Mangan.
Pacific Encounter will complete her renovations over the next few months before joining Pacific Adventure and Pacific Explorer in the P&O fleet.
