| Adventure changes

P&O Cruises Australia has become the latest line to be forced into an itinerary change due to New Zealand’s biosecurity arrangements, with Pacific Adventure required to have her hull cleaned before entering the country.

The cruise line said the result of the dive inspection which revealed the unclean hull was “unexpected”, given P&O had examined Adventure’s hull just a few months ago, reporting it to be clean.

P&O said it has immediately engaged a dive team to assist it with the work at the first available opportunity, and that any further disruptions will be communicated.
