Those catching a P&O Cruise from Brisbane just got lucky, because the cruise line is now handing out $100 GoCatch credits to transfer them from home to the port.

Those catching a P&O Cruise from Brisbane just got lucky, because the cruise line is now handing out $100 GoCatch credits to transfer them from home to the port.

It is thanks to a brand new deal that P&O Cruises has struck up with the ride-sharing phenomenon and Uber rival known as GoCatch.

Every guest who books a suite or mini-suite on any of P&O’s 2018 cruises from Brisbane will automatically receive the $100 GoCatch credit,

P&O Cruise believe the partnership will make taking a cruise holiday even more convenient by removing the planning of getting to-and-from the terminal.

P&O Cruises Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ryan Taibel said feedback from guests showed GoCatch was an increasingly popular way to travel and it made sense for P&O to offer the service as part of the booking process.

“Our guests love to cruise because it is so easy – just get on the ship and we do everything for you. We’ve seen a growing number of Queenslanders choosing to travel to and from our ships by GoCatch and we wanted to make that trip as smooth as possible too.”

Passengers wanting a quick and affordable ride can select Economy while, for an elevated experience with a luxury vehicle and a professional driver, Premium class is available.

If you’ve got friends and luggage to move, Maxis provide more space.

GoCatch CEO Andrew Campbell said its transportation service had proved to be extremely popular in Brisbane and the new partnership provided locals with another reason to leave the car at home.

“More than 10,000 Queenslanders rely on GoCatch to get around their city and now we’re making it even easier for them to get on their cruise with a comfortable and convenient ride from one of the 5,000 drivers on GoCatch.”
