However one of the Pacific Dawn’s most exciting facilities is The Dome, an incredible entertainment venue featuring comedy shows, night-time jazz events, live entertainment and amazing daytime views. The Pacific Dawn also features two outdoor swimming pools, four spas, an adult’s only retreat, day spa, gym and duty free shopping. Because recently, Pacific Aria built in 1994 for Holland America Line as Ryndam, but now owned and operated by P&O Cruises Australia, and Pacific Dawn, built in 1991 for Sitmar Cruises and delivered to Princess Cruises and operated as Regal Princess, also now owned and operated by P&O Cruises Australia, had both been sold to CMV and reportedly. Based in Brisbane, Pacific Dawn was refurbished in 2014 and was the first to showcase P&O’s new look. Aside from the new colors of navy and white and the “Like No Place on Earth” tagline, Dawn received new public spaces, restaurants, upgraded cabins and even an Edge Adventure Park, which offers fun stuff like rock-climbing, zip-lines, a funnel climb, and more.

Pacific Dawn Review

Review of Pacific Dawn

The 1991-built 'Crypto Cruise Ship' Satoshi was formerly known as 'Pacific Dawn' and launched as Regal Princess (link to the 2014-built liner). As 'Pacific Dawn', the vessel was operated by P&O Australia (Carnival Corporation-owned company) in the period 2007-2020. Under P&O, Pacific Dawn sailed ~1,37 million mi (~2,2 M km) and served ~2 million passengers.

Sadly, on December 18, 2020, the shipowner (Ocean Builders) announced that the 'Crypto Cruise Ship' project is terminated and MS Satopshi sold for scrapping at Alang India. So in December 2020, this unfortunate boat entered CruiseMapper's hub Scrapped Cruise Ships.

In February 2021, Pacific Dawn was planned to leave P&O Australia. The ship's last cruise for P&O was scheduled for February 8, 2021 (departing from Melbourne to Singapore via Brisbane). The last voyage was bookable as short-break (Melbourne-Brisbane), Asia Explorer (Brisbane-Singapore) and 'full farewell' (17-night B2B cruise Melbourne-Brisbane-Singapore). In April 2021, P&O Australia's fleet was also planned to leave Pacific Aria (now Aegean Goddess).

In November 2019, for both vessels were signed presale agreements with CMV-Cruise and Maritime Voyages. In 2021, Pacific Dawn was to be renamed to 'CMV Amy Johnson', Pacific Aria - to 'CMV Ida Pfeiffer'. Following the CMV's collapse (filed for bankruptcy in July 2020), Carnival Corporation reopened both ships for sale.

• On September 29, 2020, P&O Australia announced Pacific Dawn's sale, but the buyer (new shipowner) was not disclosed. The liner was last refurbished (by P&O AU) in 2017 and scheduled for refurbishment in 2021 April. Pacific Aria was sold in mid-October 2020.
• A total of 14x Pacific Dawn cruise itineraries (departures planned for the period December 4 through February 11 including) were cancelled. For these last-scheduled by P&O AU voyages see at the ship's Wiki section.

The new shipowner became Ocean Builders (Panama-based company) which reconstructed Pacific Dawn into a residential ship ('Crypto Cruise Ship') and renamed it 'MS Satoshi'. Prior to the Transatlantic repositioning crossing from Europe to Panama, the ship entered drydock at Gibdock Shipyard (Gibraltar).

Starting November 5, 2020, the first 100 (of the ship's total 777) staterooms were opened for purchase, with prices ranging between USD 25-50,000. Short-term stateroom rentals are also available. The auction for the first 100 staterooms/apartments ended on November 28.

The vessel's last name honoured Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin's creator). Ocean Builders company's CEO is Chad Elwartkowski. The 'Crypto Cruise Ship' project generally targeted bitcoin enthusiasts. The ship was marketed as a floating residence where payments (in all onboard shops and restaurants) can be made in BitCoins, in addition to conventional currencies. The access to the off coast drifting MS Satoshi was intended to be via a 30-min ferry ride from Panama City. Some of the privately-owned staterooms on the liner were opened for rent as living accommodations or business offices.

While operated by P&O Australia, the vessel (IMO number 8521232) was UK-flagged (MMSI number 235059368) and registered in Southampton. Under the Ocean Builders' 'Crypto Cruise Ship' ownership, the vessel was re-flagged to Panama (MMSI 355852000) and registered in Colon.

On November 18, 2020, the 29-year-old MS Satoshi left Malta en-route to Gibraltar UK (arrived on November 23) where was drydock renovated (including repainting the hull and superstructure) at Gibdock Shipyard. The ship's permanent deployment in Panama started in December 2020.

On the above photo is also shown floating 'SeaPod homes' planned by Ocean Builders for MS Satoshi ship's residents and guests.

The 1900-passenger cruise ship Pacific Dawn was designed by Renzo Piano (Italian architect). The vessel is interesting for providing connections between most staterooms (making it a great choice for families and group/party travellers). Following Pacific Dawn's drydock 2017, the ship now features the enormous Big Screen (outdoor theater / midship on Sundeck), new Aqua Park (waterpark with a dual-waterslide / aft on Sundeck), The Pantry (buffet-style market with fresh-food outlets), redesigned Atrium (decks 5-6-7), fully-renovated bars, lounges and wellness facilities.

Pacific Dawn Wiki

P&O Australia's cruise ship Pacific Dawn started its career under the name 'Regal Princess'. The vessel was initially operated by Princess Cruises( between 1991-2007) when it was transferred to P&O Australia's fleet, renamed 'Pacific Dawn' (on Nov 8, 2007, following an extensive drydock refurbishment) and homeported in Brisbane QLD (leaving from port Hamilton, Queensland Australia). The vessel was launched (floated out from drydock) on March 29, 1990, delivered on July 20, 1991, and christened (as Regal Princess) on August 8 in NYC New York by godmother Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013, UK’s Prime Minister in the period 1979-1990).

By design, Pacific Dawn was sistership to Pacific Jewel (now Karnika) and similar to Pacific Pearl (now CMV Columbus) and Crown Princess.

For P&O Australia, the vessel (IMO 8521232) was UK-flagged (MMSI number 235059368).
