P&O Cruises Ships
With each ship in P&O Cruises' impressive fleet carrying unique qualities, it is important that you choose the right cruise for you and your companions. For those looking for a family-friendly cruise, we recommend Azura, Britannia, Iona, Ventura or Arvia (who will be joining the fleet in December 2022 as Iona’s sister ship). Perhaps you’d prefer a child-free cruise? Arcadia and Aurora are exclusively for adults, offering plenty of opportunities for tranquil moments.
Onboard Experience
Entertainment
While enjoying a P&O cruise, you’ll find a refined and sophisticated décor that creates a cosy and comfortable atmosphere. During the day, if you’re not exploring the many exciting destinations on offer, you could pamper yourself at the spa, cool down in the pool or take a swing at one of the golf nets. If you’re looking for something to get your pulse racing, head to the fitness centre to join a Pilates class. There is so much on offer on a P&O cruise, the various ports of call will inevitably have to compete for your time and affection.
An evening on board a P&O cruise is a highlight in itself, with a diverse range of bars and lounges available. Black tie evenings are not to be missed, with guests encouraged to wear their most elegant attire - though this is not compulsory and you are welcome to adopt a more casual approach by dining at the buffet.
Entertainment goes above and beyond expectations, with incredible performances including West End and Broadway musical hits, dance troupes, cabaret acts and much more. P&O Cruises are renowned for their themed cruises including the much loved Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise which features special appearances from dancers and judges from the hit BBC show.
Dining
An array of tempting dishes are available on every P&O cruise, with menus created by celebrity chefs and sommeliers including Eric Lanlard, Olly Smith and Marco Pierre White - also known as P&O Cruises ‘Food Heroes.’ On specially selected cruises, P&O Cruises Food Heroes sail with guests and offer cooking demonstrations, masterclasses, booking signings and Q&A sessions.
On Arcadia, for example, you can look forward to indulging at Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill restaurant or spending an elegant evening at The Rising Sun pub or Piano Bar. No matter your preference, while cruising with P&O Cruises there’s a superb dining option for you. Those lucky enough to sail aboard Ventura can look forward to an evening of exotic live music at the lavish Tamarind Club or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try out some salsa moves after a few mojitos at Ventura’s Cuban-themed Havana nightclub.
Destinations
On a P&O cruise, you’ll have the world at your fingertips with fascinating worldwide itineraries including the Mediterranean, Europe, Canary Islands and the Caribbean. Each itinerary has been carefully planned with more overnight stays in favoured ports. Selected itineraries also include some of the world’s most exhilarating events such as festivals, concerts and sports events. With so much to see and do, P&O Cruises have a team of experts that have created a number of fascinating shore excursions that are perfectly designed for all ages, interests and abilities. For those preferring to explore alone, shuttle buses are available in selected destinations.
