P&O Cruises’ Pacific Explorer was officially named in an event held on board in Sydney on Sunday.
Cartoon character Dora the Explorer, godmother of Pacific Explorer, was joined by some of her friends from Nickelodeon to celebrate the occasion.
Dora, SpongeBob SquarePants, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Skye from PAW Patrol all performed a welcome dance with families and the ship’s crew.
She also christened the ship by breaking a pinata while P&O president Sture Myrmell was “slimed” by four honorary junior ‘mini-me’ crew members who had won a competition to lead the festivities.
A total of 120 children were welcomed on board to test out the waterpark with SpongeBob SquarePants, play lawn bowls with Skye and watch Patchy the Pirate on an 80-metre zip line.
Guests also joined by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at lunchtime as they tucked into traditional Neapolitan pizza at the ship’s new ‘fast-casual’ dining outlet, 400 Gradi.
