Pacific Adventure Activities

Entertainment & Activities

Theatre and shows on pacific adventure.

Pacific Adventure has two feature performance spaces, the main Marquee theatre at the bow and Black Circus at the stern. Not all shows in the Black Circus theatre are chargeable but you’ll need to pay for Blanc de Blanc. This Parisian-inspired show incorporates, burlesque, comedy and circus routines and has an 18+ age limit. Shows in the main theatre are popular so arrive early to get a good seat.

Tip: Sight lines at Black Circus can be patchy. If you’ve paid for tickets to a show, get there when the doors open for a seat with an unobstructed view or splurge on the VIP package for two which includes a bottle of Champagne and front row seats.

Daily Things to Do on Pacific Adventure

You'll find plenty to keep you entertained with the likes of bingo and trivia, dance classes, and meditation sessions available on a regular basis. Live music kicks off around the ship at multiple venues from the early evening and continues late into the night. Craft classes and dance lessons that tie into the day’s signature event like the Gatsby party are also on offer. Table tennis, volleyball, three-on-three basketball, half-court tennis, quoits, and hosted games are available during each sailing. Complimentary spa-related events like Ladies’ Pamper Parties can be fun, although they often double as a sales opportunity. Each evening, the Good Times daily program is left in your room. Alternatively, you can view the program using the free P&O Cruises app.

Nightlife on Pacific Adventure

Besides the main bars, where there is a revolving range of shows, contests or singers entertaining the crowd, there is live entertainment most days on the stage in the Atrium, starting in the late afternoon. The musicians kick it up a notch as the night goes on, with livelier set lists that lend themselves to hitting the dance floor. The Altitude Nightclub is the place to be if you like to party and stay up (very) late as it doesn’t kick off until after 11pm. The casino has slot machines and gaming tables but the latter were not a big drawcard on our sailing.

Pacific Adventure Bars and Lounges

The bars and lounges onboard Pacific Adventure are many and varied, ensuring there‘s a drinking spot to suit everyone. You’ll find several bars in the Atrium foyer on Deck 5 but the biggest concentration of bars can be found on Deck 7. There are also multiple bars spread around the ship’s decks which are perfect for sunset drinks or sailaway sippers if the weather is good.

For blues fans: Head to the sultry and sophisticated Blue Room early in the evening and tap your feet to an up tempo quartet or R’n’B duo with a jazzy vibe.

For sunny days: Byron Beach Club guests can make a day of it at their own private retreat with drinks delivered to their sun lounger and superb service from the friendly and attentive staff.

For late night fun: Head to the Altitude Nightclub at the very top of the ship which stays open until the early hours and has a DJ and a pumping party vibe.

For solo travellers: Luke's Bar, an elegant cocktail bar near the entrance to the Marquee theatre, draws a loyal crowd and is very small so it’s easy to strike up a conversation.

Pools and Hot Tubs on Pacific Adventure

Byron Beach Club guests have their own pool and grown-ups can use the adults-only pool at the Oasis. Pacific Adventure has four pools, including a large main pool with a view of the big screen on the pool deck and a separate family pool with a sliding roof. There are plenty of hot tubs but the best ones are arguably those at the rear of the ship on Deck 16. Twin speed slides provide additional watery fun for young cruisers and plenty of not-so-young cruisers who know that zipping down a waterslide never gets old.

Tip: The "sunset hot tubs" located directly across from the Sunset Bar are perfect for sailaway cocktails in your swimmers.

Sundecks on Pacific Adventure

You’ll find loads of sundecks on Pacific Adventure and an abundance of deck chairs spread across multiple levels. Deck 14 is part of the Oasis and an adults-only sundeck. Deck 15 has sun lounges plus a great view of the outdoor cinema screen. Deck 16 has an abundance of sun loungers, many with fabulous ocean views.

For a splurge: The Byron Beach Club has sun loungers that are shady, padded, and super comfy for an afternoon spent reading and watching the ocean.

Services and Wi-Fi on Pacific Adventure

The ship has a guest services desk, photo desk and LIFE studio for professional portraits, meeting rooms and a medical centre. The shopping area offers tax-free and duty-free prices on jewellery, watches, fragrance and cosmetics. Other stores have snacks available for purchase, plus toiletries, cruise-friendly clothing, sunglasses and souvenirs.

Decks 5, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have self-service launderettes with coin-operated washing machines and dryers. A laundry service is also available for an extra charge.

Wi-Fi is available in cabins and throughout the ship for an extra charge for using your phone, tablet or laptop. Computers are set up for passengers in the atrium but most people use their own mobile phone, tablet or laptop. Three different Wi-Fi packages are available and must be purchased as a full cruise plan and not for a single day or individual days. The Wi-Fi isn’t fast enough for those wanting to work at sea but it’s fine for light use like checking social media.

The P&O Cruises app is free to use but it didn’t work particularly well on our cruise. Hopefully, this will be rectified for future sailings.

Spa & Fitness

Fitness and gym on pacific adventure.

Pacific Adventure’s gym is located on deck 15 and has wraparound sea views and a large range of free weights, weight machines and cardio equipment including treadmills. The latter are popular with keen walkers and runners as there is no dedicated jogging or walking track on the ship’s top deck. There are free classes like stretch and meditation, plus chargeable classes like HIIT. Each morning a Walk a Mile guided fitness walk takes place on deck 7 (and up and down some stairs) for anyone after some fresh air and exercise.

Spa on Pacific Adventure

Elemis at Sea on Deck 15 offers a variety of facials using high-end products from the Elemis brand, as well as massages, body wraps, waxing, lash enhancements, brow tinting and shaping, and treatments that are said to help slim down and detoxify the body. If you buy more than one treatment, discounts are available. For things like pedicures, manicures, acrylic nails, and the like, there is a separate area. A dedicated salon with views of the sea provides hairdressing services. Other medi-spa treatments like teeth whitening and dermal fillers can also be purchased.

Is Pacific Adventure Family Friendly?

Kids and their parents will find a lot to love onboard Pacific Adventure, with loads of entertainment for young and old and delicious dining that won’t break the bank. There are plenty of cabins large enough to accommodate multiple children, with a choice of configurations to suit you and your brood (and your budget).

On Australia and New Zealand sailings, children must be at least 6 months old. Other itineraries require children to be aged one or above. After-hours group babysitting is available for $5 per child for children aged 3 to 10. Pacific Adventure does not offer private babysitting.

Kids must be toilet trained and out of nappies in order to take part in water activities onboard. Age, weight, and size limits apply to waterslides and other activities like those available at the Edge Adventure Park.

Kids Club on Pacific Adventure

Families have access to a fully supervised, complimentary kids' club program, run by qualified youth staff and separated into four age groups. Activities range from arts and crafts to video games and having fun in the club’s adjacent outdoor play areas. For some family bonding, family sports and craft activities are also organised by the youth staff.

The minimum age to attend the kids clubs is 2 years. Children do not have to be toilet trained but staff cannot change nappies. Parents of little ones who are not toilet trained must remain onboard and contactable at all times. Youth centre staff also cannot bottle-feed or administer medication.

Tip: Space in the kids club is capped which means not all families may be able to secure a spot for every session, especially on cruises with a lot of children onboard. Arriving as soon as the kids club opens will increase your child’s chance of attending.

Babies and Toddlers on Pacific Adventure

Turtle Cove is designed for kids aged between two and five years. The daily program comprises arts and crafts (such as drawing and origami); inside and outdoor games, and free play with plenty of toys, as well as a couple of video consoles. Night-time entertainment usually involves supervised games, storytime, or a lie-down movie night at 8.30pm. Apart from swapping in different games and arts and crafts for others, the structure of the daily program stays the same.

Tweens and Teens on Pacific Adventure

The program for Shark Shack for ages six to nine years doesn’t differ much from Turtle Cove but this doesn’t stop the kids enjoying the dance parties at night, video game consoles to play, balloon stomping, bead-making and other arts and crafts activities.

Teens are divided into two groups and are allowed to sign themselves in and out of the kids club. HQ is for the younger group aged 10 to 13 years and includes scavenger hunts around the ship, listening to music, playing video or board games, and participating in activities on the sports deck. For older teens in HQ+, there’s a lounge plus video consoles and board games but most of them tend to meet here and then go and hang out around the ship.

Following a routine drydock in Singapore, the Pacific Adventure resumed service for P&O Cruises Australia with several new improvements.

According to the company, the 2,600-guest vessel now offers a new sound system, in addition to a new photo viewing area and new family cabanas in the Byron Beach Club.

Available for rent, the private cabanas include a television, a fan and lights, complimentary water and snacks, a bar fridge, and service upon request for extra amenities.

The Byron Beach Club also gained a new accessible toilet on Deck 16 and the addition of 41 sun-safe canopy daybeds.

The Pacific Adventure also saw the replacement of over 15,000 square meters of carpet, 3,700 square meters of new turf added around the main pool area, and 3,000 square meters of new paint and wall coverings.

While public restrooms underwent repairs across the entire vessel, the Pacific Adventure’s staterooms also went through updates.

The Grand Suite, for instance, received new and upgraded furnishings and carpets. All guest rooms also saw new mirrors, in addition to sofa bed repairs.

Originally built for Princess Cruises as the Golden Princess, the Pacific Adventure first entered service in 2001.

Transferred to P&O Cruises Australia during the pandemic service pause, the 2,600-guest vessel welcomed its first guests Down Under in late October 2022 .

Sailing from Sydney on a year-round basis, the Pacific Adventure offers three- to 15-night cruises to different destinations in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific Isles.

In addition to short cruises to Moreton Island and Southern Australia, the ship is set to offer the “Pacific Island Hopper” itinerary in April.

Your 48-hour tour guide of Moscow this winter!

9 am – Visit the Red Square 

Christmas market on Red Square

The first thing that every tourist should do by default is visit the very heart of Moscow – it’s main and most beautiful (which ‘krasnaya’ actually meant in Old Russian) square! 

There are several ways to explore it:

• Take a selfie with Spasskaya Tower
• Have a warm drink at the Christmas market (which lasts until mid-January)
• Visit Lenin’s Mausoleum
• Shop in the gorgeous adjacent GUM department store
• Visit St. Basil’s Cathedral (and learn that it’s actually several churches under one roof).           

11 am – It’s Kremlin time! 

Inside the Moscow Kremlin

Entering the Kremlin is, actually, a bit of a quest, as it’s a presidential facility with no general access. You need to buy a ticket or, better still, book a guided tour. Inside the Kremlin’s walls, you will find ancient cathedrals, in which Russian tsars used to be crowned and buried, as well as explore the magnificent architecture of the Kremlin that reflects the rich history of the country. And, finally, you could also make a quick visit to the Moscow Kremlin Museums and admire artifacts from various Russian tsarist eras: carriages, thrones, crowns and the most incredible armory and jewelry. 

For more information, visit the official website of the Kremlin . It’s open from 10 am to 5 pm (and it’s closed on Thursdays) in winter.

2 pm – Watch the changing of the Guard

The honor guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

A very spectacular (and free) thing to do is watch how the honor guard does their ceremonial change at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame, situated in Alexander Garden, right next to the Kremlin wall. Every hour, from 8 am to 8 pm, the 1st Company of the Kremlin (Presidential) Regiment performs this rather old and beautiful tradition. But, be warned, it's often overcrowded. 

3 pm – Enjoy a green oasis just in the center

Florarium in Zaryadye

Just a few steps from the Red Square, you will find the fabulous Zaryadye park. Opened in 2017, it is designed by renowned American architect bureau ‘Diller Scofidio + Renfro’. You can walk among the very cozy botanical decorations and explore Russia’s climate zones, as each of them is represented in dedicated areas, complete with flora from those zones.

The floating bridge in Zaryadye Park

The park also has an underground museum, an “ice cave” and a 3D cinema, where you can take part in a virtual adventure – a flight over Moscow! However, the piece de resistance is a floating boomerang bridge over the Moskva River, one of the best places to take a selfie.

You can also grab a quick lunch or relax with a cup of coffee or tea in the park.

7 pm – Arrange a ballet night

The Bolshoi Theater

Of course, the most fancy way to finish your day in Moscow would be to go to the ballet at the Bolshoi Theater (in a perfect world, to see ‘The Nutcracker’!). However, getting tickets to the Bolshoi is not an easy task and should be done well in advance of your visit. 

But, don’t be upset if you don’t manage to get tickets to the Bolshoi. Moscow has dozens of other options to see a ballet (or opera). No less brilliant performances can be seen in the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theater or in The State Kremlin Palace (by the way, this is another way to get a quick glimpse inside the Kremlin!).

10:30 pm – Have a late dinner in a fancy restaurant

Dr Zhivago restaurant

There are not so many other cities with such a big choice of restaurants in a range of tastes and styles. In 2021, the authoritative Michelin guide announced their pick of the best of Moscow’s restaurants. And here’s our guide to all the places with Russian cuisine for any budget. But, if you happen to be in the area of the Bolshoi or Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, then ‘Dr. Zhivago’ would definitely be a nice option (and it’s open around the clock).

DAY 2 

9 am – grab a moscow coffee.

Winter festivities mood in Moscow

Moscow is definitely a coffee city! You can find coffee shops on every corner and they all offer a huge range of drinks. Try a ‘raf’ coffee, a sweet, creamy drink that was created in Russia, or dare to pick one of the very unusual offers, like cheese coffee or a Soviet candy style one (check out our coffee guide here ).

10 am – Take a river cruise

Winter boating along the Moskva River

Another exciting way to explore Moscow is to observe it from the water. Boats cruise along the Moskva River all year round. Most begin their route from the Hotel Ukraine, one of Stalin's ‘Seven Sister’ skyscrapers, and will bring you back to the same spot after passing the medieval Novodevichy Convent, Moscow State University and Luzhniki Stadium, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and giant monument to Peter the Great and many other sightseeings. 

It’s always at optimum temperature inside the boat, which also has huge panoramic windows. Select boats also offer a full dining experience, so it is also a nice place to have breakfast or lunch.

If you are not a water person, then discover other, unusual sides of Moscow – pick one of the activities we’ve prepared for you here ! 

1 pm – Visit ‘Russia’ Expo and taste a bunch of Russian regional cuisines

Russia Expo at VDNKh

Until April 2024, the Soviet-era VDNKh exhibition park is hosting the huge ‘Russia’ expo, with tons of activities and expositions devoted to Russia, its culture, science and nature. Check out our special guide on what to do there!  

An entire ‘House of Russian Cuisine’ has been opened at the expo. You will find 15 food stands with flagship dishes from Kamchatka, Siberia, Karelia and other regions of Russia. Imagine trying a range of cuisines and dishes in one place without even having to travel anywhere, be it Altai pelmeni, Tula kalach or Caucasian pies! A perfect place to grab some lunch.

House of Russian cuisines at VDNKh

The VDNKh exhibition park is a great place to visit, in general! Its pavilions are the perfect example of Stalinit Empire style architecture and you can almost feel as if you’ve traveled back in time! You will also find several interesting museums in the park – devoted to space exploration, Russian history and even a ‘Special Purpose Garage’, which showcases the various vehicles used by the country’s leaders. 

'Sun of Moscow' wheel

And, finally, you can ride Europe's tallest panoramic wheel – ‘Sun of Moscow’ – that will give you panoramic views of the city – from a height of 140 meters!

5 pm – Ice skate with view & mulled wine

Ice skating rink on Red Square (GUM department store on the background)

Ice skating is one of the most popular and affordable activities in Moscow. There are several great ice skating rinks in picturesque locations that are open all winter long. One of the biggest rinks in Europe is also at the aforementioned VDNKh or you can visit the one in Gorky Park, another very popular Moscow spot, or the small, but fancy rink – right on Red Square! 

All the parks offer ice skate rental, so the only things you need are warm clothes, a charged phone to record your memories and a good mood!  Moscow also gets dark at 4:30 pm in winter and hundreds of lights are switched on, turning the city into a giant fairy tale! 

A mulled wine with a view

And, if you are not a sports person, we’ve picked several other unusual activities that you could do in Moscow instead. For example, did you know that there is an entire district of dacha (countryside) houses, just 10 minutes from the center, surrounded by giant new highrises? How about taking a stroll there and feeling the early Soviet atmosphere?

8 pm – Warm up & laugh out loud

After all these outdoor activities, what could be better than a warm cozy bar with a hot drink and nice company? Moscow is a city full of entertainment for all tastes. So, if you know the Russian language or want to practice it, go to a theater or catch a stand-up comedy show. Moscow even has comedy shows in English, where you can hear both Russians speaking fluent English or foreigners (including Brits and Americans) who live in Russia speaking in broken or heavily-accented Russian (Check their show dates on the ‘ Moscow English Comedy ’ Telegram channel)!

11 pm – Finish by partying the night away!

Propaganda club in Moscow

Moscow never sleeps, as you might have heard. Which means there are plenty of bars and nightclubs where you can have a drink (or two or three; be sure to check out how Russians make Black Russian and White Russian cocktails) and chat with incredibly different people. Have fun and don’t miss your flight (or miss it and stay longer in the best city in the world!)!

That's it! See you soon in Moscow
