P&O Cruises Australia Welcomes the Return of Ni Vanuatu Crew Onboard Pacific Explorer

P&O Cruises Australia is proud and excited to welcome back our Ni Vanuatu team mates to work onboard our first ship to start sailing from Australia in more than two years.

P&O Cruises has always valued its strong relationship with Vanuatu and is the only cruise line in the world to employ Ni Vanuatu team mates onboard our ships.

The first Ni Vanuatu crew left Vila this morning to join the P&O Cruises flagship, Pacific Explorer, which will begin carrying guests from May 31.

“Welcoming our first Ni Vanuatu crew back onboard our ships is an exciting moment and a demonstration of the respect we have for our Vanuatu team mates,” President of P&O Cruises Australia Marguerite Fitzgerald said.

“We have been paused for more than two years and these crew will play a major role in helping us to get back into operation.”

P&O Cruises is hopeful of being able to cruise to Vanuatu this year but stressed this was a decision of the Vanuatu Government and its officials.
