CARNIVAL
Australia’s five
Sydney-based
cruise ships
will salute
the Royal
Australian
Navy by
flying special
pennant flags from their main mast this week.
The flags (pictured) denote the number 100
to mark the Navy’s centenary celebration.
On arrival and departure from Sydney, each
of Pacific Jewel, Pacific Pearl, Carnival Spirit,
Sea Princess and Dawn Princess will fly the
special salute as they sail past the Navy’s home
at Garden Island.
The International Fleet Review, which takes
place over the October long weekend, will see
ships from navies around the world assemble
in Sydney for “one of the most spectacular
celebrations ever staged on the harbour,”
according to Carnival Australia ceo Ann Sherry.
