P&O PACIFIC ENCOUNTER - Full HD Ship Tour! First look since 2023 refit!

Welcome to Pacific Encounter. This is P&O Australia’s newest style of cruise ship, and the largest in its decades long history of cruising in Australia. As a Grand Class cruise ship, Pacific Encounter has a lot on offer. She’s over 109,000 gross tons, and has many decks to explore with multiple restaurants, show lounges, bars and on deck amenities that include the huge twin racer water slides!

Come with me aboard this fun filled ship and explore what makes the Pacific Encounter a real game changer in the Australian cruise market.

About this video:

I visited Pacific Encounter as a guest of P&O Cruises but was not paid to make this video. Pacific Encounter has already proven to be a popular addition to P&O Australia’s fleet, and I hope this little walk through of the ship gives you some idea why. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you found the video interesting. If you did, please don’t forget to subscribe and check out my other ship tours including Pacific Explorer, Norwegian Spirit, Coral Princess of Queen Mary 2. Thanks again for watching, and until next time I hope to ‘sea you on board.’

How did I get aboard:

A few weeks ago I was lucky to visit the Pacific Encounter in Brisbane. I was aboard in my capacity as a historian, and had been working with P&O Cruises on the launch of their 90th anniversary of cruising in Australia celebrations.

After all the effort that went into it, I’m pleased to say the event was a huge success, but once it was over, I had all day before my flight home was due to take off.

So I took the opportunity to grab my cameras and take a walk around the Pacific Encounter to photograph and film the entire ship!
