Thousands of cruise passengers were evacuated from their rooms in the early hours of the morning after a fire broke out on a ship off the NSW coast.
The blaze was detected on a balcony of the Pacific Adventure about 3.30am, with photos showing travellers watching on in shock.
A P&O Cruises Australia spokesperson said the fire was extinguished. However, the extent of the damage and cause is yet to be determined.
“This fire activated our emergency response procedures including a full muster of guests and crew and we thank everyone on board for their cooperation,” the spokesperson said.
“There are no reports of injury.”
