Aurora brings a little bit of the Arctic to sunny Sydney When people think of Sydney, they think harbour, sunshine and city- what does not immediately spring to mind however, is polar bears. But that’s exactly what trotted into town last week, heralding the start of winter and aiming to raise awareness about global warming and the plight of its endangered brethren. Sponsored by Aurora Expeditions and carved over a few hours by British sculptor Mark Coreth and his team, the bear was fashioned out of a bronze skeleton which was frozen in a block of ice. Speaking to media at the launch, Coreth said that the ice bear was an interactive sculpture where onlookers become part of the sculpting team by touching the bear. Aurora’s Expedition Leader Amanda Till Each touch melts the bear “this is the human with Lisa Bolton in front of the Ice Bear impact” Coreth said, by way of explaining the parallel between the ice bear and the plight currently facing real polar bears. “Aurora believes that taking guests to these Arctic and Antarctic destinations creates life- long ambassadors,” said Aurora Expeditions CEO Lisa Bolton, who described the Arctic as a “precious laboratory”. “Sensitivity to the environments we visit is key to Aurora’s philosophy,” she said, adding that the company takes deliberate steps to preserve and protect the regions it sails. If you want to experience these regions, check out Aurora’s upcoming European Arctic and Antarctic seasons at www.auroraexpeditions.com.au, or see your local travel agent. cruise weekly Tuesday 7th June 2011 page 2 CRUISE UNDER FULL SAIL ABOARD STAR CLIPPERS THE LARGEST MODERN TALL SHIPS JMAK= :((./< PDF FLYER ZZZFUXLVHZHHNO\FRPDX 7 NIGHT WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN CRUISES AUG-OCT11 SAVE 25% OFF Last Minute Deals True Blue Riband, Fastest Across the Atlantic THIS WEEKLY COLUMN HIGHLIGHTS HOT DEALS ON by Roderick Eime cruises departing in the next 90 days – ideal for our spontaneous readers.

  • Retrofitting a Goliath of The
    COVER STORY Pacific Dawn retrofit team from Inter-Marine. Retrofitting a goliath of the sea An Australian heavy marine specialist recently claimed a successful world-first refrigerant retrofit onboard Australia’s first super cruise liner. In doing so, the company ensured the ship’s numerous HVAC&R systems are future-proofed as it continues to sail the South Pacific, writes Sean McGowan. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of taking a holiday on a super cruise liner can attest to both the enormity and grandeur of these vessels. Australia’s own MV Pacific Dawn is no exception. Designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano and built by the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, the Pacific Dawn was originally named Regal Princess by former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher before its maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale in the US, to the Caribbean in 1991. The ship has since collected more stamps in its passport than even the most intrepid traveler. It alternated between cruises to the Caribbean during northern hemisphere winters to Alaska during their summer, before heading to Australia earlier this decade. In 2003, it returned to the Mediterranean before again sailing out of New York for a period of time, until in 2007 it was transferred permanently to the P&O Cruises Australia fleet, and subsequently renamed Pacific Dawn by Olympic gold medalist Cathy Freeman. Accommodating approximately 2,680 passengers and crew, the 70,000 tonne cruise liner has since enjoyed two years in service sailing to various destinations across the Pacific out of Brisbane. Pacific Dawn in Sydney Harbour Measuring some 245m in length, it is almost one and half times the length of Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.

  • Cruise Capacity in New South Wales
    ATE MEDIA INFORMATION | CRUISE CAPACITY IN NEW SOUTH WALES CRUISE CAPACITY IN NEW SOUTH WALES Destination NSW works with cruise lines, ground handlers and the tourism industry to continue to capture the most significant share of the economic benefits delivered by the growing cruise sector. The NSW cruise shipping industry delivered more than twice the economic benefit received by any other state in Australia during 2013-14 with an increase in cruise ships and with passenger and crew days growing by more than 7% from 2012-13 figures. And, for the first time, cruise passenger days through Sydney ports exceeded more than one million. Sydney received around $1.909 billion in cruise-related expenditure while the Port of Newcastle received $17.488 million and the Port of Eden $0.4 million. In response to the need for long term planning, the NSW Government committed Destination NSW to lead the development of a 10-year Cruise Development Plan as part of its agreed actions under the NSW Visitor Economy Industry Action Plan. The strategy has been developed in consultation with key industry and Government stakeholders with recommendations due to be presented in late 2015. CRUISING INTO NSW The cruise industry is looking forward to another bumper year in 2015-16 with 299 ships already booked in to use Port Authority of New South Wales facilities in Sydney. Sydney is Australia’s premier cruise ship destination and the only city in Australia with two dedicated cruise-passenger terminals. The number of cruise ships based in Australia year-round is at a record high with Carnival Cruise Line, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises set to operate 10 ships offering hundreds of itineraries between them.
