P&O Cruises tempted Australians with a “thrill-seeking activity of a lifetime” over the weekend as pranksters played tricks across the globe for April Fool’s Day.
The hoax promised to launch “Walk the Wire” – the world’s first tightrope walk between two cruise ships as they sailed the Pacific Ocean.
P&O said the safety harness-equipped activity would involve a 30m walk from the top deck of Pacific Aria to Pacific Eden on a cable 40m above the sea.
