Slip ‘N Slide Additions To Cruise Liner
P&O’s Cruise Liner, Pacific Dawn, is undergoing an extensive refurbishment, including two new waterslides, further improving the facilities on the ship.
The Southampton-based P&O group, working in partnership with
Polin Waterpark’s and Myrtha Pools, installed the two 80m slides to improve their standing in the industry. They are the maiden waterslide additions to the company’s fleet.

Myrtha Pools, installers of the two 50m pools for the 2016 Rio
Olympics, will christen the build in June, with the addition of Polin’s trademarked Magic Shine, Natural Light Effects, Special Pattern Effects and translucent options. Polin’s Aquatubes are a perennial favourite of waterparks around the world, from indoor aquatic facilities to the globe’s largest entertainment
