sail7seas Posted August 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Sounds like a nice ceremony. Hope she and all who sail in her sail many safe voyages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire eater Posted August 17, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree, Sail. There should be a "like" button, I think, for comments such as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old As Dirt Mom Posted August 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks for providing the details of the day and program when Statendam and Ryndam officially join the P & O fleet, Fire Eater. It sounds like a wonderful send-off. I keep forgetting which ship is becoming the Aria and which one the Eden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire eater Posted August 17, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You are very welcome 'mom'. I think our (i.e. HAL) ships will stand out as I believe they have retained the navy hulls? fe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted August 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I could cry. Both took us on wonderful trips. Bon voyage, grand ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare erewhon Posted August 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thank you for listing the timetable for the naming ceremony. Is Ryndam to become Pacific Aria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire eater Posted August 17, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I am not sure about which is which and I can't find anything at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastegirl Posted August 17, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Statendam to become the Eden and the Ryndam to become the Aria. The Eden and Aria will keep their blue hulls but will gain a white stripe near the top and the other 3 already while existing P&O Aust ships will gain a dark blue stripe near the top of their hulls. This way they all match in without trying to paint the ex HAL ships all white which I am glad they are not doing. The preliminary refurb information coming out indicates they are going to be looking very swish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White party Five ships depart the harbour Thank you for supplying this interesting information! Some questions, if you are able to answer them. Where will the naming ceremony take place? In the middle of the harbor? 9:00 A.M., the 5 ships move to different locations. Where might those areas be? I was not aware that Sydney could berth more than 3 cruise ships at any one time. Where will the entertainment in the 4:00-10:00 P. M. take place? As others have said, long may Pacific Area and Pacific Eden, aka Ryndam and Statendam, sail and may all who sail aboard her enjoy their adventure!

Wastegirl Posted August 18, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thank you for supplying this interesting information! Some questions, if you are able to answer them. Where will the naming ceremony take place? In the middle of the harbor? Not sure on that one, sorry its not clear in all the publicity blurb 9:00 A.M., the 5 ships move to different locations. Where might those areas be? I was not aware that Sydney could berth more than 3 cruise ships at any one time. Aria will be at the Overseas Terminal, the Eden at Neutral Bay, Jewel at Athol Bouy, Dawn at Garden Island and Pearl anchored off Point Piper. Some of the ships are moving about between their mooring point and places like White Bay to get people on board. What I can see on the map is that they will all be within viewing distance of one another Where will the entertainment in the 4:00-10:00 P. M. take place? On the ships but the fireworks will be open to everyone on the harbour, each of the ships has a Music Act. Then a simultaneous White Party on all the ships As others have said, long may Pacific Area and Pacific Eden, aka Ryndam and Statendam, sail and may all who sail aboard her enjoy their adventure!
