P&O Cruises injecting $29M into WA this year

Fremantle is the current homeport for P&O Cruises Australia’s Pacific Explorer with seven cruises departing from Fremantle over the next couple of months.

P&O says it will inject $29 million into the Western Australian economy this year as it invites locals and tourists alike to embark on unforgettable journeys along WA’s stunning coastline.

P&O has advised Fremantle Shipping News that: ‘the $29M is a combination of guests staying in hotels in Fremantle before they get on the cruise, dining in restaurants while ported, and shore tours.’

P&O also proudly sources 100 per cent of their food and beverage from Australian suppliers – ‘West Australian growers, farmers and small businesses can rely on our business all year round, because P&O is in Australia all year round.’

On April 19 Pacific Explorer will embark on a 3-night, Fremantle to Fremantle comedy cruise with guests enjoying the best comedians Australia has to offer. Each night comedians take to the stage.

Guests can get up close and personal in the Comedy Workshops, where pros will give them inside tips. Then, armed with their new skills, they can make a debut at the Comedy Gong Show, where celebrity comedians will judge their performance.

There is something for everyone including a cheeky adults-only show in the Sit Down Comedy Club.
