All Inclusive Holidays to the South Pacific

If you’re looking for a good value, all inclusive holiday close to home, you really can’t go past a cruise to the South Pacific. And now you can cruise from Auckland in comfort and style, on P&O Cruises’ newly refurbished Pacific Sun. The multi-million dollar makeover of this 47,000 tonne, 1896 passenger ship, has transformed her into a complete floating resort, providing similar comfort as a ‘land’ resort but with many more inclusions, making it a very affordable and great value holiday option.  

Top of the list of the Pacific Sun transformation, is her stunning ‘adults only’ retreat called The Oasis. Featuring chocolate brown wicker daybeds, loungers, tables and ottomans, plus a new whirlpool spa, The Oasis retreat offers the perfect escape. Send the kids to one of the supervised children's centres while you enjoy some well deserved rest and relaxation.

The buffet areas have been transformed with a new colour scheme and furniture, while the ship’s library becomes an elegant Seafood and Steakhouse at night, offering a more intimate dining experience. Of course with ‘anytime’ dining, you choose where you want to eat and when.   Work off your gourmet meals in a new Fitness Centre which overlooks the ships wake. The former gym area has been converted into a relaxation room for the Lotus Day Spa, offering another place to chill out. Enjoy some quiet time and an herbal tea after your spa treatment.

Pacific Sun will spend the winter down under, being resident in Auckland from the beginning of June 09 to the beginning of August 09, and cruising to the warmth of the South Pacific, Queensland and Tropical North Queensland.
