P&O Cruises Australia has answered a plea from a group of young Aussies stranded overseas, who it will bring home on its ship Pacific Adventure.
A group of Australian Rotary volunteers, who had spent the month volunteering for a youth project in Vanuatu, became stranded in the country following the administration of Air Vanuatu earlier this month.
P&O Australia invited the youths, many of them students from Albury, to board Adventure in Port Vila on Friday, which was on her way back to her home port of Sydney, where she will arrive on Thursday.
The 16 students and their chaperones will now get to enjoy a relaxing holiday at sea, including a visit to beautiful Mystery Island, which is a well-deserved reward after their work in Vanuatu running health clinics and providing medical assistance and training.
“P&O Cruises Australia is delighted to help this inspiring group of students get home,” Senior Vice President Peter Little enthused.
“We are proud of our Australian heritage that extends back more than 90 years, and answering a call to help young Australians stranded a long way from home, is the right thing to do.”
