Cruise   , NSW, Australia, Aug 2024
Ziggy and myself went for a 4 day break and rest. The Blanc de Blanc show was fabulous and so was the ship’s company show - very professional. Things to do during the day and plenty of nightlife. Had a very nice four days. Thank you
Kimberley Cruise     , NSW, Australia, Jul 2024
This cruise was extremely well organised with experienced and friendly guides. The zodiacs were a challenge at first but after a few days and gaining confidence in the driver it wasn’t as daunting. Some days it wasn’t possible to view the scenery behind you from the zodiac. Food, crew and fellow passengers were excellent.
Great cruise!   , VIC, Australia, Jul 2024
We really enjoyed our cruise over to New Zealand. I enjoyed the food and activities put on by P&O in particular. It was excellent value for money. I wish they had a bigger dance floor for the theme nights. Particularly on the Gatsby night, there were lots of people dressed up but not able to dance because the platform in the atrium was too small. I ...read more would recommend that the Blue Room or Explorer bar is set up for the party from the outset. It was particularity odd having the party in the small atrium with lots of people standing around on the stairs looking down. The boat is a bit tired but I suppose that's to be expected given it is being sold to carnival soon. Overall, we had a great time.
Kimberley Coastal Expedition   , NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
Great trip - Broome inclusions were brilliant, flights good and the APT team were fantastic! Cruise was beyond our expectations- excellent food and service, great accommodation and wonderful crew who looked after us superbly - I could not recommend this trip highly enough!
