Today we celebrate International Day for Women in Maritime. ⚓️❤️ if I had one wish in this industry, it would be to see more women step into officer and executive officer roles on board cruise ships all around the world! Happy international day to all our fantastic female seafarers, from us here on the Pacific Encounter ❤️

Surprise! I’m now onboard the Pacific Encounter 💃🏽 Dry dock is in full swing and as we enter our last few days I thought I would share some images of what dry dock looks like, and some of the newer additions too! I won’t show you too much, we’ve got to leave some parts for you to look forward to when you next step on board this beautiful ship- but get ready, SHE LOOKS AMAZING! You know how hard our crew work during your cruises, you should see how hard they work during dry dock! All departments join forces and move furniture, on load new furniture, offload a bit of everything, clean clean clean and more! Real life superheroes. Get excited for your upcoming cruises, we have a lot of new activities and events for you to look forward to.
Leave a 🙋‍♀️ if you’re sailing on the Encounter on the 25th of Feb!
