This is your holiday to enjoy and joining OUTexploring will make it extra special.  Enjoy LGBTIQ+ events and activities exclusively for OUTexploring members.*

Chill by the pool with a bear, party in the nightclub or embrace your inner geek with a boardgame.  There is something for everyone.  Do as much or as little as you like.

All fare types include your chosen cabin, P&O signature onboard entertainment, and meals. 

Drinks, Specialty Dining and Shore Tours are extra.  Your OUTpass* will grant access to the exclusive LGBTIQ+ program in addition to P&O’s legendary inclusions.  Talk to the Barrow and Bear Team to discuss cabin options.

We had a fabulous time on our holiday with everyone as we come from all over Australia and different walks in life but that didn’t matter because we were united and had fun participating in all activities. Met some wonderful people and can’t wait to do it all again.

It was bloody brilliant and I had a good time, so much so that I’ve booked again for next year’s trip in August 2023.
