P&OSeaBreak fares start from $549* per person quad share for four-night cruises from Sydney to Queensland. In early 2015, the cruise line will also offer its first short cruises from Brisbane to New South Wales’ famous wine region the Hunter Valley, while beautiful Eden on the state’s south coast will receive its inaugural visit from P&O Cruises’ during longer sailings from Sydney to Victoria and South Australia.

The offerings from Brisbane also feature a new P&OExplorer itinerary ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’, which will see Pacific Dawn cruise to Tonga and Fiji via Tin Can Island, a name which harks back to the early 20th century when its inhabitants used to swim out to meet passing steamers and give them their post in a tin can.
