PRINCESS CRUISES EXPANDS AUSTRALIAN PROGRAM

Princess Cruises will operate the 77,000 ton SUN PRINCESS year-round from Australia. SUN PRINCESS recently commenced her first Australian cruise season, and has been embraced by Australian cruise passengers.

Sister ship DAWN PRINCESS was to commence a five-month Australian cruise season from November 2008 , but her program has also been extended to a year-round operation.

As well as the usual 10 – 12 day itineraries so popular with Australians, SUN PRINCESS and DAWN PRINCESS will also offer longer cruise itineraries.

These will include 28-night circumnavigations of Australia, a 28-night cruise to French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Samoa, and a 42-night Cherry Blossom cruise to Asia and Japan.

An extended 75-night Circle Pacific cruise will visit the Pacific Islands, Tahiti, Hawaii, San Francisco, Alaska-Canada, Russia, Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore before returning to Australia.
A first-ever round-world cruise will be offered from Australia in DAWN PRINCESS. This 103-night voyage will depart in 2009, and the itinerary is still to be announced. Register with us for more information when it becomes available.

For more information, telephone us in Australia on 1800 4 CRUISES (1800 428 847) as soon as possible between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm AEST weekdays.

From outside Australia, telephone +61 7 3423 8900 during these times, or email us for further information and bookings.

P&O's NEW PACIFIC DAWN ENTERS SERVICE
The former REGAL PRINCESS has undergone an extensive refurbishment and conversion to become P&O’s Sydney-based cruise vessel. The 70,000 tonne vessel offers an excellent range of itineraries, including a 28-night Tahiti cruise departing from Sydney in June 2009.

PACIFIC DAWN has a large number of balcony cabins, and her lounges and restaurants are beautifully appointed. The 3-deck atrium gives a feeling of light and space, and this ship sets a new course for P&O Cruises in Australia.
