Melt winter blues on a Pacific cruise

Ten days of watching the sun set from the decks of P&O's Pacific Sky are guaranteed to melt away the winter blues.

The ship sets sail from Sydney on August 11, and an escorted tour organised from Auckland is ready to catch it.

The ship makes her way around the Pacific's exotic islands, such as Vanuatu, the Loyalty Islands, Isle of Pines and New Caledonia.

Though accommodation is arranged for inside cabins, an extra $180 each will secure an outside cabin.

The cost of $3695, share twin, includes all meals, entertainment, flights to and from Sydney out of Auckland, port charges, transfers and departure taxes. Tour dates are from August 10 to 22.
