Top 5 BEST Things on Pacific Explorer Cruise Ship REVEALED! P&O Pacific Explorer!

Pacific Explorer may be the smallest ship in the P&O Cruises fleet but there’s heaps to love about this ship. A sun-class cruise ship, she entered service in 1997 as the Dawn Princess. The ship sailed for Princess Cruises for 20 years until 2017 when it transferred to the Australian arm of P&O Cruises.

The ship is the flagship of P&O Australia, having undergone an extensive Australianisation refit. She was also treated to a few additional enhancements during the cruise pause, so post-pandemic travellers have access to all the amenities and enhancements made by P&O Australia.

I’ve sailed with Pacific Explorer three times so far, twice to showcase the ship for the Big Cruise Podcast, and once as a guest lecturer. P&O did get me onto the ship free of charge each time, but they did not ask me to make this video.

Let’s go aboard to discover the 5 best things about this ship – in my opinion anyway.
