-
P&O Cruises Australia brand has been shutting down, with operations ending in 2025. The Pacific Explorer is slated to leave the fleet in early 2025, and the other ships (Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure) are to be rebranded and operated by Carnival Cruise Line, while some itineraries from March 2025 onward were canceled or reconfigured. This comes as part of Carnival Corporation’s broader fleet optimization strategy.[2][3][4]
-
For customers affected by cancellations, refunds or future cruise credits have been offered, with timelines for action communicated by P&O; some guests were advised to decide on future cruise credits by set deadlines, while others were refunded automatically or offered credits plus onboard spend, depending on the booking.[2]
-
Despite the closure of the Australia brand, P&O Cruises brand remains active in other markets, including the UK, and current information for passengers typically directs them to the official P&O Cruises Australia communications and Carnival Corporation statements for the latest itineraries and rebooking options.[5][2]
Illustration: If you’re in Los Angeles and booked a Pacific Explorer itinerary through P&O Australia, expect cancellation notices for 2025 sailings, with options to receive full refunds or cruises credits, and potential rebooking under Carnival Cruise Line after the transition period.[3][2]
