Barrier Reef Discovery Cruise

Step aboard P&O’s Pacific Encounter, an amazing “floating resort” that features a vast array of relaxation, entertainment and dining experiences. Our cruise itinerary takes us from Brisbane through the Whitsundays to Cairns.

• Arrive in Brisbane for a pre-cruise night with time to relax and get to know your fellow travellers
• Transfer to Pacific Encounter, our home for seven nights. Enjoy a leisurely lunch and time to wander and explore the ship before joining in the fun of the sail away party as we depart
• Experience the breathtaking beauty of the world’s largest coral reef as we cruise by picturesque tropical islands
• The wide variety of shipboard activities will keep you entertained for hours as we settle into our time at sea
• Take part on a shore tour or enjoy some free time exploring the tropical locations of Airlie beach and Cairns
• Sit back, relax and enjoy some scenic cruising around Willis Island. Gaze at the gorgeous colours around the coral cays from deep blues to aqua greens and the pristine white sands
