Using a rake, Port Macquarie artist, Chloe Dickey, 24, unveiled the cruise line’s latest ship names in a spectacular mural on the southern end of Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach as scores of spectators looked on.

“It’s not every day you get the chance to reveal the names of two new ships which will call Australia home, so we wanted to do it in an uniquely Australian way at one of the country’s most iconic locations,” Ann Sherry, the CEO of Carnival Australia which operates P&O Cruises, said.

Chloe spent about an hour creating the mural at Bondi Beach, carefully timing tides, swell and runners to reveal the names – Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden – for the very first time.

“With ethereal and heavenly undertones, we thought Aria and Eden conjured up the happy, blissful and indulgent spirit of our cruise holidays, which offer the chance to escape the everyday world,” Ms Sherry said. “They really capture the cruising state-of-mind that hundreds of thousands of Australians experience on our ships each year.”

Pacific Eden and Pacific Aria will debut in Australia in November next year taking the cruise line’s fleet to a record five ships sailing year-round from Australia and New Zealand. The ships’ itineraries and home-porting arrangements will be announced in the coming weeks.
