| P&O Eden the way

P&O Cruises Australia has begun a video series celebrating rural destinations in Australia, beginning with the New South Wales South Coast town of Eden.

The video is fronted by Cruise Eden Coordinator Debbie Meers, who reinforced what a great team P&O Australia and the town is.

The line first called on Eden six years ago with Pacific Pearl, and has since visited on 25 separate occasions, bringing around 50,000 guests to the region.

Pacific Aria was also the first cruise ship to return to the town after the 2019-20 bushfires.

More destination videos are planned for other destinations, such as Airlie Beach in Queensland’s Whitsundays, well known for its friendly volunteers.

P&O Director, Destination Management, Michael Mihajlov, said the town was a natural starting point for the series.

“Our guests love Eden and the community there through organisations such as Cruise Eden has embraced cruising and the opportunities it delivers,” Mihajlov said.

“With their enthusiasm they make each cruise ship visit an event in its own right adding unique local attractions such as the beachside Taste of Eden.”

“We know that regional destinations are very keen to see the restart of cruising and the revival of cruise ship calls as soon as it is possible, and we can’t wait to return,” – CLICK HERE.

Flagship Pacific Explorer was the first cruise ship to use Eden’s new wharf extension when it opened two years ago; she is pictured with volunteers from Cruise Eden.
