Cruise line introduces barefoot bowls at sea

2016 has already been an incredible year for cruising, and it’s about to get even more exciting with the official launch of P&O Cruises’ luxurious, 2,000 passenger Pacific Explorer.

The Pacific Explorer is the result of multi-million dollar upgrades to the Princess Cruises liner Dawn Princess, bringing with it a range of cruising firsts and innovations.

Perhaps the most exciting is the introduction of a barefoot bowls green, which will allow passengers to enjoy a game or two while they’re cruising on the high seas.  

Of course you have to be take care with how far you bowl the jack!

Among the innovations, the Pacific Explorer will also boast P&O’s first ever waterpark at seas with two waterslides and water toys provide lots of fun for cruisers. P&O are also introducing a range of exciting dining concepts for people enjoying a luxury cruise.

P&O Cruises President Sture Myrmell said the design team had a lot of fun with the Pacific Explorer, telling Daily Mail, “We've taken the winning features of our existing ships, then added a whole new layer of excitement with some big wow moments like the waterslides as well as new concepts like the bowling green and a stunning hidden bar, which we think will put a smile on our guests' faces. It really will be a ship that offers something for everyone.”
