MIAMI, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In line with the
periodic review of its temporary pause in operations, P&O
Cruises Australia today announced a six-week extension to the pause
to 17 September, 2021.
The extension to P&O's voluntary pause applies to cruises
scheduled to depart from 31 July to on or before the new date of
17 September 2021, and is consistent
with the line's practical approach to the operating
environment.
The extended pause is being applied as the cruise industry
continues to work with relevant government authorities to establish
a pathway for the restart of cruising in Australia.
Guests whose bookings have been affected will be notified of the
pause and options available either directly or via their appointed
travel agent.
P&O Cruises Australia President Sture Myrmell said the decision reflected our
respect for our guests so they could plan their holidays with as
much certainty as possible.
"We are supporting our industry association as it works with
governments and public health authorities to develop a framework
for the successful resumption of cruising," Mr Myrmell said.
"I again wish to thank our guests for their unwavering loyalty
to P&O Cruises Australia and their passion to cruise with
us.
"We look forward to the day when a pathway is confirmed for
cruising's return so that we can welcome everyone back onboard.
"For now, we continue to assist our guests in every way we can
in spite of the current uncertainty."
Guests can track the progress of their future cruise credit or
refund request via the tracking tool found on P&O's website at
