Join me onboard the most recent addition to P&O Australia’s fleet, the Pacific Adventure.

The Pacific Adventure began her life with Princess Cruises, where she sailed as the Golden Princess since 2001. Pacific Adventure is a Grand Class ship, and rejoins her sister Pacific Encounter which previously sailed as the Star Princess.

Like Encounter, she’s 290m in length and 109k gross tonnes and offers a huge variety of indoor and outdoor public spaces.

On the dining front, the ship offers several P&O classics including the Waterfront, Angelo’s Italian, Dragon Lady and 400 Gradi. Additionally, celebrity chef, Luke Mangan’s Salt Bar & Grill debuts aboard Encounter. Plus, a new poolside takeaway pizza venue called Gradi Pronto is available next to Luke Mangan’s casual eatery, Luke’s Burger Bar.

P&O’s take on the cruise ship buffet is also available. Called The Pantry, this dining venue is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers an array of cuisines from each of its food-court like shop fronts. There is also a range of self-service food options like sandwiches, salads, fruit and bakery items available throughout the day.

The Adventure Hotel is P&O’s take on the classic Australian pub. This completely revamped space is a central hub of entertainment and activities onboard Encounter and is where you’ll go draught beer and a whole lot of fun.

Pacific Adventure also has twin-racing waterslides installed on her upper pool deck, plus P&O’s famous Edge attractions which include the Flying Fox, Walk the Plank, Rock Climbing and more.

The adults only Oasis is located completely aft, with multiple terraced decks cascading down to a wake-view pool. With its own bar and comfortable loungers, this is a fantastic spot to while away a day at sea.

A brand new indoor two level family pool zone means that kids and parents can enjoy their time onboard in an environment tailor made for families.

Pacific Adventure’s crowning glory and most unmistakable physical feature is the Altitude night club. Perched high above her stern, the lounge by day and night club by evening sits on Deck 18 and provides for incredible daytime views and night time fun. With a dance floor, DJ booth, bar and ample seating spaces, Altitude is the new go-to night time entertainment zone.

There are plenty of other spaces to enjoy board, like Black Circus, the Marquee Theatre, Charlie’s Bar, the Ocean Bar, Blue Room and Encounter Hotel so make sure you watch the whole tour to not miss a thing.

The Byron Beach Club is a luxurious outdoor zone, reserved exclusively for residents of the Byron Beach mini suites and the full suites onboard the ship.

The ship also offers a full gym and fitness centre, spa and beauty salon.

Thanks for watching!

I can't wait to see what Carnival does with this ship. You can already see the possibility of Guy's Burgers and other venues.

The fact the P&O Australia can make an old ship look like new is mind blowing 😱😱

Went on this shopping cart ship back in 2017 as the golden princess I must say it wasn't terrible, the boat itself Is quite well laid out in general the viewing area at the back is great for any sailaway party and a great place to watch the ocean it looks very similar still hopefully the food is better now with p and o.

Very exited to see what carnival does with this

We cruised on this lovely ship in October. We had also been on it when she was with Princes, love the indoor pool area. Unfortunately our cruise was not enjoyable. Boarding and disembarking was a nightmare, were weren't at Circular Quay, but some industrial area with a very big warehouse. EXTREMELY disorganised, food was not really good, it was often lukewarm. It really spoiled your day when it looks good but often tasteless and cool. The menus at then included restaurants, changes only every 3rd day, but often warm. The talk of the cruise was the poor food management. Great coffee though. The lifts were horrible. Supper slow opening and closing, often one of them was under repair. The entertainment was generally good in the main theatre. Unfortunately there were cases of gastro, and we ended up with Covid. I doubt we will ever go with P&O. Got off so sick and not happy. Hopefully the change of company improves the issues.

Thanks for the comprehensive walkthrough. I do get a sense of a P&O promo walkthrough though - too perfect about everything. I would have liked a true 'good and bad' evaluation. Anyhow I am doing a short cruise on this ship in a few weeks and will give a report 'warts and all' as they say. What is great and what needs work 'if anything'.

[cheluga]

[KateS]

Adventure looks quite nice! It will be interesting to see what it is like under the Carnival banner.

Great tour, love this, and brought back many memories of my time as a crew member on Golden Princess.

[mikemcmanus]

Great ship and with a few subtle changes she is still the Golden Princess

[valaltoft]

[kyms]

Just got off of this ship on Saturday 29/10/22. The changes on board a very little to when it was the Golden Princess. The atrium is very small, the Byron beach club pools were cold, all the clocks on the ship were all on the wrong time, and we never saw anyone in the pool at the back of the ship. The ship has alot of signs of ageing and wear. A lot of the tray tables on the seats in the Marquee theatre were broken, several light fittings around the ship were broken or hanging from the ceiling and the lifts are very slow.

[chucknorris]

Gawd, I miss this ship. Went on back in 2017 when it was the Golden Princess and it was more than what I expected. It's amazing how they were able to fit a bit of everything onto this ship and have now added a waterslide on top. Having been on the newer Majestic Princess and Ovation of the Seas myself, there's something about these older ships that the newer ones cannot replicate. There's a palpable sense of history when you walk the the halls and that Altidude area at the back of the ships (previously called SKywalkers lounge) and the wake pool were my favorites.

[rileycummaudo]

I’m going on the pacific adventure to the pacific islands

[jenscott]

How did you get to film all of that without people around?!?

[danmuss]

Thanks for the video. We are now booking this for next year 🎉
