Thank you. P&O has a great history sailing out of Sydney. I think of some of their great ships that were built in the United Kingdom that were based here like Arcadia, Himalaya, Oronsay and the Oriana which was the first ship i sailed on. I am sad to see this happen.
@@Kirribilli_ships There is a cruise company based on the River Thames at Tilbury called Ambassador Cruise Line. Their largest ship, Ambience, operated for P&O Cruises Australia between 2007 and 2020. During this time, it was called Pacific Dawn. I think it is fair to say that the arrival into Sydney Harbour is more picturesque than Tilbury!
@@ThamesShips I remember Pacific Dawn, she was a frequent visitor to Sydney Harbour and later Brisbane. It's great that Ambassador Cruise Line now has her sailing out of Tilbury, She is a very nice ship.
Yes it woul be great if an Australian Cruise company could be formed to fill the void. Cruising is very popular in Australia so a bit of competition would be a great move.
@@Kirribilli_ships I totally agree, however what I would really like to see is the paddle steamer Waverley tie up at the overseas passenger terminal at the Rocks! Ah, I can only dream!
Excellent video. It is a shame to hear about P&O Australia.

Now time for a Australian entrepreneur to step up and fill the void left by a self serving Carnival Corporation.
