Was wondering what to do for recent Aus Day weekend & found out P&O had a 3N cruise on the Pacific Eden.
Sailed out PM Thurs & sailed up to Port Maq for the Fri & back into Sydney Harbour & Joined Pacific Explorer anchored for the day. Back out to sea for the evening before docking AM Sun. Ship was 100% full for cruise so I found out & ended up on a standby list, but managed a last minute booking. Only an interior cabing & DW not impressed!! We were anchored between Shark & Clarke Islands.

Had the normal Oz Day activities included - Thong throwing, egg toss, pie eating etc.

Lots of Oz Day activities on the day & many dressed up for the occasion.







A quiet morning before the crowds arrived - Pacific Explorer in Athol Bay behind.


The ferry race heading up to Shark Island.


Our limited attempt to dress up for the day.






Lots of Steve Irwins


Happy little vegemite

Both those links not working at the moment.

RE: booking, looks like it was worth it though.

Loved the Aria (sister ship to the Eden) when we were on her last year.....Can't wait to do a 10 night PNG cruise on her again later in the year.

Before that, a 7 night trip on the Dawn 

Shame this year was Pacific Eden's last Australia day cruise....
