Hello all
does anyone know anything new about the Pacific?
it was sailing last summer for Pullmantur Cruises out of Valencia but this season its not any more on the website of Pullmantur
I am sure it wont remain in Brasil since there is no market for it during the european summer season but i cant find any info where it will sail this season and who will be operating it.

thanks and a happy new year to all

She is chartered to CVC and will be sailing year round out of Brasil. Unfortunately I hear that she is not in best condition especially if compared to her sister Discovery. Still owned by Pullmantur.

Pacific is still a great ship if she is well maintained...its too bad Discovery Cruise cant buy her and give her a major overhaul and refurbishment...I think these two ships are two of the best that were built for cruising...smaller and intimate yet still full size ships. I remember both from their days with Princess doing West Coast of North America sailings to Alaska and Mexico. They would do very well together..

Ah yes,the beauteous Pacific and Island Princessess
(ex Sea Venture and Island Venture)..two of the
most attractive cruiseships of the 70's.I recall when
Pacific Princess was aquired by P&O,she was to do or did a season of cruises out of Sydney around
1976,(as an 10/11 year old then I don't quite recall
the specifics) and I managed to get my hands on a preview brochure from P&O's city office,though I've
lost this brochure long ago I still remember she was
being marketed as a purely upmarket ship,and she
was,and still is (I hope).The only item I have left of
the Pacific Princess is a large cutaway painting of
her,pinpointing various lounges,bars and facilities
on offer titled "Take Our Resort With You",it's a beautifully rendered image of a truly lovely looking
ship!.
