There’s been a lot of chatter about the end of P&O Cruises Australia, with some people dismissing it as “just another American cruise brand.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In this video, I’m setting the record straight. P&O Cruises Australia wasn’t just another cruise line—it was a continuation of a legacy dating back nearly two centuries! From its roots in the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company to pioneering Australia’s first-ever leisure cruise in 1932, P&O played a massive role in shaping the cruise industry we know today. With the P&O Cruises Australia brand now fully absorbed into Carnival Cruise Line, what does this mean for Aussie cruisers? Was this just a rebranding exercise, or have we lost something truly unique? ➡️ Watch my Sitmar video here: https://youtu.be/qK_jFU795LY?si=B5eBlzAhftkdinNK - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🛳️ My website hosts one of the world's most powerful cruise search engines where you can research and even book your next cruise or land holiday.
