The MS Pacific Sun is operated by P&O Cruises Australia. At 47,000 tons, the Pacific Sun is a medium-sized ship, accommodating up to 1,900 passengers.
She was built in 1986 by Kockums Varv, Malmö, Sweden, for Carnival Cruise Lines as MS Jubilee, along with near-sister ship Celebration. (The other near-sister ship of the class, Holiday, was built earlier by Aalborg Værft in Ålborg, Denmark.)
In 2004, the vessel was transferred to P&O Cruises Australia and renamed Pacific Sun. Pacific Sun arrived in Australia in November 2004, and began year-round cruises from Sydney to the South Pacific and tropical north Queensland. She is based out of Brisbane, the largest year-round liner to be based in Queensland. After receiving a multi-million dollar makeover, she is currently sailing in all white colors, like P&O's other ships, along with new amenities.
In late July, 2008, 42 passengers were injured in a storm. The event became widely known when video footage was reposted on the internet two years later. |
