| In October 2000 she was transferred to P&O Cruises Australia under the name Pacific Sky. Replacing the 1957-built Fair Princess, Pacific Sky's modernized facilities made her popular with Australian cruise passengers. Between 2000 and 2006, Pacific Sky carried 275,000 passengers on 200 cruises. Her popularity prompted the expansion of the P&O Australia fleet to include Pacific Sun (2004), Pacific Dawn (Nov 2007), Pacific Jewel (2009) and Pacific Pearl (2010).
In May 2006, the transfer from P&O Cruises Australia to Pullmantur Cruises in Spain was made, after a series of 33 seven-day cruises based out of Singapore. Currently registered in Malta, the Sky Wonder displays Valletta as her home port. The Italian-built Regal Princess took Sky Wonder's place in the P&O Cruises fleet in mid-2007 as the Pacific Dawn. As of March 2009 the Sky Wonder is laid up in Piraeus. In April 2009 Sky Wonder was renamed Atlantic Star and sailed for the Portuguese market. |
