GUESTS have the opportunity to view the
rare astronomical transit of Venus on 06 Jun
2012, just as Captain Cook did during his
voyage to Tahiti in 1769 onboard the cruise
line’s 11-night Pacific Islands voyage onboard
Pacific Pearl departing Sydney on 03 Jun 2012
(from $999pp/qs).
“The last transit occurred in 2004 and the
next is scheduled for 2117, meaning the 2012
event is the last chance to witness the
spectacle this lifetime,” said Jenny Lourey,
senior vp of Carnival Australia.
The transit will also be visible during Pacific
Jewel’s 30 May 2012 nine-night Pacific Islands
cruise from Sydney priced from $949pp/qs; as
well as the 03 Jun Pacific Sun seven-night
Queensland itinerary out of Brisbane from
$599pp/qs; and P&O’s 02 Jun 12-night Pacific
Dawn Pacific Islands cruise departing Brisbane
from $1,099pp/qs.
