However, large swells of up to four metres prevented her from anchoring off the port.

The 64,500gt ship, which returned to Melbourne today, was on a six-night round cruise from Melbourne and made the company’s first calls at Port Lincoln and Kangaroo Island.

Robe is next on P&O’s agenda in 2015 when Pacific Pearl sails from Sydney on February 21 on an eight-night round cruise from Sydney that will also visit Portland, Kangaroo Island and Eden.
