Party in Style with P&O Cruises’ New White Nights

Party time on P&OCruises is about to take on a stylish new shade as the cruise line revamps itsonboard entertainment program to include dazzling top deck white parties.

Four new partyconcepts will be rolled out across the fleet from June including Bianco, theP&O White Party, which is set to be the biggest night on any cruise turningthe open deck into a whiteout with special effects such as smoke cannons and asnow finale, white cocktails, live music and everyone dressed in theirbrightest whites. Along with a DJ pumping out tunes from a specially-designedstage on the dance floor, there will be a selfie wall complete with selfiesticks so partygoers can capture memories of the night to share on socialmedia.

P&O CruisesEntertainment Director Brett Annable said Bianco would be a cruise highlight.

“Inspired by theworld’s superclubs and what’s trending in modern Australian venues, Bianco willbe the party to be seen at. The next big thing in cruise entertainment, it willbe much more than a party - it will be a special event and we think it willfast become the most popular night onboard our ships,” Mr Annable said.

Mr Annable said allages would be welcome at Bianco but younger cruisers would also be able toenjoy their own dedicated parties.

As part of therevamped entertainment line-up, cocktail nights will take on a glam new lookwith Gatsby-themed evenings encompassing the cruise line’s classic show, TheVelvet Rope, and an after-party evoking all the glitz of the 1920s.

There will also be aretro Back to School party in the nightclub and afternoon Vegas parties,bringing the trademark fun in the sun offered at some of Las Vegas’ most famousday clubs to the pool deck with a DJ, Vegas cocktails and beach balls.

Every cruise of threenights or more will feature the new Bianco night while the Gatsby-themed eventand Back to School party will occur on cruises of four nights or more. PacificIsland cruises will continue to offer an afternoon island-themed sailawayparty.

Continuing theentertainment revolution onboard, Mr Annable said a new stage show was beingintroduced, unlike anything ever performed on P&O Cruises’ ships.

“Off the Charts has acontemporary look and feel – it’s more of a concert than a musical. Like theGrammys, there will be individual performances of songs from the best singersof our generation including Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Adele. We’ve evenbrought in several choreographers so each piece of music is totally separateand has a different feel,” he said.

With Off the Chartsadded into the mix along with musical The Velvet Rope, thought-provokingproduction Disconnected and contemporary show Life As We Know It, the shipswould offer a show for every taste, Mr Annable said.
