Pacific Jewel

Originally known as Crown Princess, her distinctive curved profile, often referred to as 'dolphin-like' was designed by Renzo Piano. Her sister ship is Regal Princess, now Pacific Dawn. Both the Regal and Crown Princess were ordered by Sitmar Cruises and were in the early construction phases when Princess purchased their former competitor. In 2002, the ship was transferred to a new P&O Cruises brand aimed at the German market.

In April 2007, the vessel was transferred to Ocean Village, and after a small refit in Bremerhaven, was christened as Ocean Village Two.

On 30 October 2008 Carnival Corporation & plc announced the closure of their Ocean Village brand with both ships to be transferred to the fleet of P&O Cruises Australia.
