P&O Cruises’ passengers put themselves to good use turning hundreds of Save the Children's Born to Knit knits into warm blankets for newborn babies as part of a new partnership with the children's charity.

During Pacific Jewel’s recent visit to Vanuatu's Port Vila, crew members donated the blankets to the Vila Central Hospital maternity ward on behalf of the cruise line and its passengers.
