Reflecting pent-up guest demand for a return to cruising, P&O Cruises Australia ramped up its ‘Fly the Flag for P&O’ campaign by streaming a first-of-its-kind interactive event live direct from Pacific Adventure In Italy to lounge rooms around the country.
P&O Cruises Australia says that packaged in a fast-paced chat show format, the evening event last October 14 was a virtual take on the home-grown cruise line’s popular entertainment program with family-friendly comedy, music, interviews, celebrities and crew and guest appearances.
P&O Celebrity chef Luke Mangan, [pictured right] top comedian and radio presenter Kat Davidson and award-winning winemaker Glandore Estate’s Duane Roy will appear among big names from the entertainment, travel, and hospitality world.
President of P&O Cruises Australia Sture Myrmell [below] said the event enabled loyal cruise guests to gain experience the joy that is part and parcel of the onboard entertainment on offer during a holiday at sea, adding, “The ‘Fly the Flag for P&O’ event coming in live from Pacific Adventure was a joyful experience for the participants and for everyone tuning in at homes across Australia, but there is also an underlying serious message.”
He said, “It also served as a reminder of the pent-up demand among our guests for the return of cruising and the need for federal and state governments to engage and agree on a restart plan to enable the return of our beautiful ships”, adding, “Our suppliers, whose businesses depend on cruising and have been, hit hard in the pause in operations, will also share centre stage during the live event.”
 
 
The ‘Fly the Flag for P&O’ campaign is enabling guests to stand up for their favorite cruise line and express their hopes for a bright future holidaying at sea, with thousands of guests having made ‘fly the flag’ part of their social media identities.
The unique show was hosted by P&O’s popular entertaining duo, Julie and Leeron [pictured right] from onboard the 109,000 tonne Pacific Adventure while they docked her off the coast of Trieste.
