She was originally slated to become part of the Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) fleet, however, with the announcement that CMV had entered into administration in July 2020, P&O has found a new home for Pacific Aria, with P&O staying mum about her new home, only disclosing that it is “another entity” and saying the “…new owner would confirm its purchase in a separate announcement.”
The sale of Pacific Aria was scheduled for April 2021, but will now be completed “as early as next month”, with P&O stating her early departure from its fleet “…was brought forward six months to enable the sale of the ship.”
“Like Pacific Dawn whose sale we also recently announced, Pacific Aria was a great favourite with our guests,” said P&O Cruises Australia President Sture Myrmell.
“Aria might have been with us for just five years but she is no less prominent in our affection and respect for her contribution to P&O and cruising.”
