P&O’s Pacific Explorer, for example, offers gin-tasting classes with Sydney based boutique distillery Archie Rose Distilling Co.

Enjoy some kid-free time
You’ll find a plethora of entertainment options for kids of all ages. Book the little ones into the kids club and enjoy a date-night or some much-needed ‘me time’ at an adults-only retreat. Lie back and say ‘ahhhh’.

Soar on a flying fox
Lie back on a lounge and snooze the day away – or get the adrenaline pumping on a flying fox or water slide. You can also ride a Segway, play laser tag, go rock climbing or go abseiling. If you prefer something more relaxed, try barefoot lawn bowls or play quoits.
