P&O Cruises’ renowned bronze tiger has been spotted onboard flagship Pacific Explorer after spending almost three decades on Pacific Dawn in past and previous incarnations

The much-loved feature was originally purchased in an antiques store and made her debut on Regal Princess.

A ‘fan favourite’, the tiger remained on the ship when Pacific Dawn joined the P&O fleet in 2009.

The tiger spent many years in Pacific Dawn’s Bengal Bar until the venue was refurbished and she was moved to the Dome.

P&O Cruises President Sture Myrmell had always thought the tiger would be a perfect addition to Pacific Explorer’s Black Circus venue.

“Having spent 10 years cruising in and out of Brisbane, the tiger is well known to our Queensland guests,” Mr Myrmell said.

“When Pacific Explorer relocates to Brisbane later this year, she will be a familiar feature to many.”

The tiger is now one of the first features guests will see when they walk into Black Circus.

Pacific Explorer will depart Sydney on a three-night Comedy Cruise on October 16, 2020 before arriving in Brisbane on October 18 to begin her maiden season in Queensland with a six-night Barrier Reef Discovery.
