The enhancements are part of a substantial multi-million dollar refurbishment program, which will see the 47,000-tonne cruise ship emerge from her scheduled dry dock in Brisbane next month with a bright fresh new look.
Overseen by Australian design firm McRae & Lynch, the revamp will create a range of new features on Pacific Sun, which will provide her passengers with even more ways to relax and enjoy their time at sea. At the top of the list is located “Top-Side” and the total transformation of the ship’s Sun Deck with the creation of an inviting adults-only “Oasis Spa Retreat,” featuring chocolate brown wicker daybeds, lounges, tables and ottomans and a new Whirlpool Spa. Recognising that Australians’ love a good cup of coffee, the refit will also create a especially dedicated Coffee Bar, named the “Outback Bar.”
In addition, the ship’s library will be completely refurbished, enabling it to be transformed at night into an elegant Steakhouse, offering an alternative and an intimate dining experience.
With the changes, passengers will be able to work off their gourmet meals in a brand new gym area on Deck 10 that will have sweeping views over the ship’s wake. The previous gym will become a relaxation room for the ship’s popular “Lotus Spa,” giving passengers another space to chill out.
The refurbishment will also extend to the
ship’s exterior with Pacific Sun’s livery changing to the all-white
look to match her
