Sandy Cadwallader
Cruise Director
Pacific Sun
I was born into a military family in San Antonio, Texas. After graduating from the Univerity of Colorado, I moved to the sea on a 51-foot sailboat. Dodging hurricanes in the Caribbean for almost a year, he decided to try out the "Big Ships". Starting 2002, I have traveled to over 70 countries in my cruising career. On April 1st, 2006, I had a life-changing experience when I joined the Pacific Sun. I immediately fell in love with the South Pacific and worked my way up the ranks on the Pacific Sun, Pacific Star and Pacific Dawn.

MV Pacific Sun
I was born in Camogli in the beautiful Italian Riviera. I first left Italy for the northern shores of England and then after varies years moving from one country to another I’ve finally found my vocation on board cruise ship. I’ve worked for some of the best cruises in the world and I’m now working in P&O Australia were I manage the larger department on board ensuring food & beverage is properly ordered, stored, cooked and served to our passengers.
I love the hot climate; and travelling has been a major part in my life, I’m also passionate about good food and wine which I often enjoy in my beautiful house in the small Caribbean island of Bonaire.
Welcome to our events section
We’re busy planning some exciting events for Pacific Sun’s arrival into Fremantle as well as her exclusive departures from Newcastle. Here you will find the latest details once finalised.
