CRUISE UPDATE

NEW-LOOK PACIFIC DAWN EMERGES
P&O Cruises’ Pacific Dawn has emerged from a major
multimillion-dollar refit with an exciting new look
including a new state-of-the-art waterpark with two
exhilarating waterslides and an interactive kids-only
play area. In other new features, guests can now
dine at The Pantry, an international marketplace
of fresh food outlets that replaces the traditional
ship’s buffet. In addition to tried-and-tested outlets
in Pacific Dawn’s Pantry is a new Mediterranean-
inspired offering called Nic and Toni’s. Also on offer
is the extremely popular Poolside Grill, providing
casual dining options.
Several of Pacific Dawn’s public spaces have been
redesigned to mirror the striking contemporary
look that has become a trademark of the P&O fleet,
including the Atrium, Charlie’s, The Orient and the
Promenade Bar, which will be styled with similar
décor to sister ships Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden.
