Welcome aboard P&O’s Pacific Encounter as we kick off an exciting new cruise series! This back-to-back adventure begins with a 3-night comedy cruise, immediately followed by an 8-night Pacific Islands journey to Noumea and Mystery Island. In this video, we dive into embarkation day, introducing the ship, settling into our cabin, and experiencing the energy of the sail-away party and first evening aboard.

Join us as we navigate embarkation, enjoy dinner at Angelo’s, dance the night away at the Bianco White Party, and laugh out loud at the comedy shows. Plus, we reflect on the significance of cruising with Pacific Encounter before it transitions to Carnival Encounter.
