The MS Pacific Sun is a Holiday class cruise ship operated by P&O Cruises Australia. She was built in 1986 by Kockums
Varv, öMalm, Sweden for Carnival Cruise Lines as MS Jubilee.
At 47,000-tons, the Pacific Sun is a medium sized ship, accommodating up to 1,900 passengers from Australia and/or New Zealand.
Pacific Sun currently operates cruise itineraries to the South Pacific and Queensland. She is currently based out of Brisbane.
