P&O's second Grand Class ship, the Pacific Encounter, (previously the Star Princess from Princess Cruises fleet) will begin cruising from Brisbane in November 2021. The Pacific Encounter joins her sister ship the Pacific Adventure (also previously a Princess ship) to replace P&O's Pacific Dawn and Aria. She will be refitted to include the many family friendly activities and signature restaurants that P&O are renowned for. From Brisbane, Pacific Encounter will operate cruises to the South Pacific islands and along the Queensland coastline.
