    P&O switches Aust shipP&O Cruises has changed plans

    for its Australian fleet renewal, announcing the deployment of the Grand Class vessel Golden Princess to local waters in 2020 (Cruise Weekly breaking news).

    Currently operating with sister brand Princess Cruises, the ship will be P&O’s first enabled with the Ocean Medallion, giving Australian guests the wearable device and interactive technology platform set for introduction in the Caribbean later this year.

    The choice of the 2,600-guest Golden Princess supercedes earlier plans to introduce Carnival Splendor to P&O’s Australian fleet in 2019.

    Splendor will now stay in the Carnival Cruise Line global fleet.

    Australia will also welcome the 3,000-guest Ruby Princess, which will replace Golden Princess in serving Australia for Princess.

    The exec chairman of parent entity Carnival Australia, Ann Sherry, also announced Carnival Cruise Line will increase its Australian operation to two ships sailing full time from 2020, with details to be revealed in May.

    “Our brands have pioneered the growth of the industry and set the industry up for success, and today’s announcement is about taking deliberate and strategic steps for the future of the business,” Sherry said.

    See Cruise Weekly tomorrow for more details.

    VA Bali diversionsVIRGIN Australia is advising

    customers there may be “some delays” on its flights to Denpasar due to activity of Mt Agung.

    The carrier says that flights are operating as scheduled at present but as a “precautionary measure” some Bali-bound flights will be making fuel stops in Darwin.

    “This ensures that if an eruption occurs while the aircraft is en route, we will be able to get guests back to their originating port safely and quickly,” VA says.

    Buchaneers clearedTHE Australian Maritime Safety

    Authority has lifted a prohibition notice issued against cruise operator Ahoy Buccaneers after a passenger was left behind on a West Australian beach in Aug.

    The notice was withdrawn after Ahoy agreed to changes in its head-count process, which will now take place before tenders return to its ship Oceanic.

    Ahoy Buccaneers director Doug Gould said the passenger concerned had wandered from the group and was on the beach less than five minutes before a tender returned.

    Head counts had previously taken place once tenders returned to the ship.

    The authority had issued a previous notice to Ahoy in May 2016 regarding issues around vessel stability.

    TK plans 787 orderSTAR Alliance member carrier

    Turkish Airlines has committed an agreement to order 40 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from Boeing.

    TK’s chairman Ilker Ayci said the deal “is a significant step forward in enhancing our passengers’ flight experience”.

    Perth Ritz on trackMARRIOTT International says

    construction of The Ritz-Carlton, Perth is ahead of schedule and on-track to open in mid-2019.

    The 205-room, 28-storey hotel is being built at Perth’s Elizabeth Quay development and marks the re-entry of the brand in Australia.

    QF interactive map firstQANTAS has unveiled a new

    interactive map-based search functionality, providing customers with an extended search criteria based on budget, Qantas Points, trip duration, travel period, cabin preference or region, across a number of mediums.

    ‘Where Can I Go?’ enables Qantas Frequent Flyers to review travel destinations using Classic Flight Rewards or Points Plus Pay.

    Utilising “first of its kind” tech in Australia, Qantas has rolled out the map search across domestic and international services as part of the airline’s strategy “to give customers more intuitive travel ideas and inspirational content across its own online, digital and social channels”.

    Until now, customers would typically investigate holiday destinations with the airline using

    a list of locations on qantas.com.Through ‘Where Can I Go?’,

    customers can access hundreds of locations around the world flown to by Qantas or through its partner airline network.

    A Qantas spokesperson said the new tech “gives our customers access to information and inspiration when planning for their next trip - whether it’s for business or family holiday”.

    The technology is available on web on desktop and tablet, and will be extended to mobile and the Qantas app later this year.

    Extra finals flightsQANTAS is kicking goals with

    Adelaide Crows fans, adding six new return flights between Adelaide and Melbourne this weekend for the AFL Grand Final.

    The Boeing 737 & Airbus A330 flights will add a further 2,400 seats on the route.

    QF has also added four direct services to Sydney ex Townsville for North Queensland Cowboys fans for the NRL Grand Final, to complement its existing six daily Townsville-Brisbane flights.

    The extra frequencies from TSV will add 1,300 seats to Sydney.

    A HOTEL in Bangkok is allowing guests to be locked behind bars on their next visit.

    The Sook Station hostel on the outskirts of Thailand’s capital city has nine tiny, dark rooms with cement walls and bunk beds for those seeking an authentic night in jail.

    Even the front entry doors have been made with thick bars to give the illusion you’ve been in deep trouble with the law.

    On arrival guests can purchase striped pyjamas and have their mugshot taken in front of a height chart.

    The owner Sittichai Chaivoraprug said the inspiration came from The Shawshank Redemption.

    AZAMARA Club Cruises has purchased P&O Cruises UK’s MV Adonia with the vessel to be delivered to the boutique cruise line in Mar 2018.

    To be called Azamara Pursuit, the ship’s decor will be updated to “match the brand’s upmarket position” prior to beginning sailing under the brand.

    “We are pleased to expand our portfolio by 50%, allowing us to visit even more regions of the world through the acquisition of this sister ship,” said Larry Pimentel, president and ceo of Azamara Club Cruises.

    “Our loyal guests and travel partners have asked for this expansion for a long time; we are very pleased to deliver this to them,” he said.

    Pursuit is comparable in size to Azamara Journey and Azamara

    Quest and is the last of eight “R” class ships originally built for Renaissance Cruises.

    Details on Pursuit’s deployment, etc will be announced in Oct.
