About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Explore the wonderful world of P & O Cruises in this captivating overview with maritime expert, Chris Frame.

In early 20th Century Australia, it was said P&O was so reliable, you could set your watch to the time their ship's departed port! First arriving on our shores in 1852, P&O has been in Australia longer than Australia has been a nation!

The line was instrumental in the development of Australia, bringing countless people here to start a new life. From the 1930s, P&O pioneered local cruising and by the 1980s "Fairstar the Fun-Ship" was a household name! With the recent announcement that P&O will cease Australian operations in 2025, this engaging talk shares the story of a line that will be greatly missed after the final voyage sets sail.
