About P&O Cruises Deals

British cruise line P&O Cruises are the pioneers of modern cruising, with over 170 years experience under their belt. They offer a wide range of destinations as well as a great variety of cruise styles. Some of their ships are sophisticated adults-only vessels, whilst others focus on families with great kids facilities. Depending on which ship you sail on, you may find that it's skewed to the slightly more formal end of the market, with set dining times, or that you can choose Freedom Dining and eat when you want every night.

Speciality dining is one area where P&O Cruises excels thanks to a couple of partnerships with high profile celebrity chefs. Marco Pierre White, Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar and TV wine expert Olly Smith have all worked with P&O Cruises to bring their expertise to unique bars and restaurants on some ships.

With many of the ships calling Southampton their home port, no-fly cruises are easy to find with this Brit-centric line. However, all the ships are registered in Bermuda , which means that you can get married onboard if you wish!

Top Destinations

P&O Cruises sail to 180 different ports in 72 countries across the globe, so you should be able to find the itinerary you're after!

Cruises from the UK depart from Southampton, and head to an astonishing variety of places. Sailings for around Britain cruises as well as to the Mediterranean , the Baltics, the Canary Islands , Iceland and the Norwegian Fjords will all return you to Southampton. Setting sail for the USA, Canada and the Caribbean will usually be a one-way trip, so expect to catch a flight for the return journey.

If you're happy to combine a flight and cruise additional destinations on P&O Cruises itineraries include Australasia, Asia and the Orient, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Panama Canal, the Middle East and Central America.

If you're just looking to dip your toe in the water then how about a P&O Cruises mini cruise? These usually last two or three nights and travel between two nearby European ports ? that could be Southampton to Bruges, or part of the Norwegian Fjords route.

Cheap P&O Cruise Cruises

If you're after a short cruise break on the cheap then the range of mini cruises P&O Cruises offer can't be beaten! They have all options covered, whether you want to sail from Southampton or fly off to Europe and cruise for two or three nights.

It can be a really good idea to get organised early and take advantage of early bird offers to make sure you get the cruise you've been dreaming of at a great price. If you're less concerned over the exact cruise you want then it's worth scouring our newsletter for a last minute deal .

Booking a sector of a world cruise , or on a repositioning cruise , can also be a great way to save money. Remember to always check if flights are included, and look for extras like free hotel stays. It's also worth researching and buying drinks packages before you sail as that's when you get the best prices.

How many ships are there in the P&O Cruises fleet?

P&O Cruises have seven ships in their fleet. Iona, Britannia, Azura, Ventura and Arvia are all family-friendly options, with all the facilities to boot. You can expect children’s clubs and shows that appeal to adults and little ones alike. Arcadia and Aurora are adults-only ships, meaning that things feel a little more laid-back here, and relaxation is at the heart of the offering.

Which destinations does P&O Cruises sail to?

P&O Cruises sail to an impressive number of destinations, with both far-flung sailings and mini cruises on offer. Budget-friendly mini cruises around the British isles, or to some of the UK’s closest neighbours, make P&O Cruises a great option for those who are new to cruising and want to sample all that cruising has to offer without breaking the bank. However, if you want to sail to more traditional cruise destinations like the Norwegian Fjords, the Caribbean and the Canary Islands — P&O Cruises have a sailing for you too!

Does P&O Cruises operate a traditional dining system or an open seating system?

P&O Cruises offers a mixture of fixed-time-and-table dining, and more relaxed open dining (referred to by P&O Cruises as ‘Freedom Dining’). Some ships, such as the Iona, operate on a solely Freedom Dining basis, meaning that you can eat when and with whom you choose. However, for those who relish the chance to make friends over dinner during their cruise, plenty of ships have restaurants dedicated to that traditional model. Flexibility is at the heart of the P&O Cruises proposition and this is reflected in its eateries, with both casual dining spots and plush formal affairs available on all of the ships. This is a cruise line that understands that one size does not fit all.

What are P&O Cruises' sustainability policies?

P&O Cruises and its parent company, Carnival Corporation & PLC, have outlined an ambitious plan to become much more eco-friendly by 2030 and 2050. You can read their full plan here . These plans include everything from changing fuel sources, to working with local communities within the destinations visited to ensure that the supply chains are as green as possible. Iona is the first British ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas, so this is a commitment that P&O Cruises is putting into action!

P&O Cruises fleet

Pacific encounter, pacific adventure, pacific explorer, review of p&o cruises.

This is CruiseMapper's hub for both companies - P&O UK and P&O Australia. Both cruise lines are part of the Carnival Group of companies being subsidiaries of the world's largest cruise shipping company Carnival Corporation & PLC .

P&O UK is under the management of Carnival UK.

Note: There is a 3rd "PandO" company (not part of Carnival plc) - the UK-based P&O Ferries .

IMPORTANT : In May 2024, the parent company (Carnival Corporation) announced that in 2025 will discontinue its Australian brand "P&O Cruises Australia" (2000-founded), citing the South Pacific region's limited population and high operating costs. P&O AU's ship Pacific Explorer will be retired in February 2025 (sold or scrapped), while Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure will be transferred to/integrated into CCL-Carnival Cruise Line 's fleet and remain in Australia.

Company history and changes

P&O Cruises UK (POcruises.com) is a British-American passenger shipping company headquartered at Carnival House (Southampton, England) and operated/managed by Carnival UK. P&O was originally a constituent of “Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company” (1797-founded/1966-defunct) which was the world's oldest cruise line that operated the first-ever passenger ships.

P&O Cruises' sister company is P&O Cruises Australia. P&O Australia's current President is Marguerite Fitzgerald. while P&O UK's (as well as Carnival UK's) current President is Paul Ludlow.

In 2000, "P&O Cruises" was excluded from P&O Group, becoming the subsidiary "P&O Princess Cruises". In 2003, P&O Princess merged with Carnival, forming Carnival Corporation & plc.

P&O (UK and AU) holds as market share ~5% of the worldwide cruise industry. Both companies (P&O Australia and P&O UK) were created in 1977, re-branding P&O's passenger division. Arcadia was the fleet's first adults-only liner, followed by Adonia (now Azamara Pursuit ), Oriana and Aurora (April 2000).

P&O UK ships Arcadia and Aurora are currently marketed as adult-only.

In August 2017, Azura became the world's first cruise ship to perform gay weddings at sea. P&O UK's wedding package prices started from GBP 1200. For comparison, Cunard’s shipboard weddings cost starts at ~GBP 2570 ( RMS Queen Mary 2 ) and ~GBP 2120 ( Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ). On MS Azura, gay wedding ceremonies are carried out by the ship’s Captain, while marriage licenses are issued by Bermuda's Government (as the vessel is registered in Hamilton Bermuda ).

In June 2018, P&O UK announced that Oriana leaves the fleet in August 2019. The liner (now named Piano Land ) was sold to the Chinese company Well Star Travel Cruise (brand of CTS-China Travel Services International). The Chinese company plans short cruises from Chinese homeports to ports in Japan and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia).

Since May 1, 2019, P&O Cruises UK's Daily Service Charge per person (GBP 7) is no longer required. Crew tipping remains not expected or required.

In June 2021, P&O UK launched a mobile app to optimize pre-boarding and maximize onboard efficiency. The new "My Holiday" app is free of charge but available only on the ship. It allows pre-booking and making reservations onboard (dining times, restaurants, shows) via mobile phones and tablets. The app is an addition to the My Holiday (Reception Desk) which provides 24-hour assistance, including booking and how to use the application.

In summer 2023, two P&O UK ships (Iona and Arvia) introduced in their retail shops three kids' toy brands (Barbie, Hot Wheels Cars, Keycraft's Pocket Money) in addition to the always available toys from brands like Lego, Jellycat, TY (stuffed animals).

In April 2024 was introduced fleetwide the new illusion show "Unbelievable" created by Stephen Mulhern (TV presenter, magician, comedian) and Jonathan Wilkes (TV presenter, singer) and with Vegas-style choreography from Paul Domaine (show director, professional choreographer).

In June 2011 was announced that P&O UK will expand the fleet with a new 141,000-ton unit built by Fincantieri. The new vessel ( MV Britannia ) entered service in 2015. In January 2014, with Britannia was introduced a new livery based on UK's Union Flag.

On September 6, 2016, P&O UK (via Carnival Corporation) signed an MoA with Meyer Werft ( Papenburg Shipyard ) for building a new (company's largest) 5200-passenger vessel. In late-October 2016, P&O announced that the new ship ( Iona ) will have some of the largest at sea outdoor areas, glass-domed top deck, glass-walled atrium (full height) and wider and longer (approx 2600 ft / 800 m) Promenade Deck allowing multiple alfresco dining/open-air venues.

Iona was delivered in October 2020 and inaugurated in August 2021. The sistership Arvia was postponed (due to the COVID crisis) and delivered in December 2022 and inaugurated in January 2023.

The newest P&O UK vessel has max passenger capacity 6264, volume 187500 GT-tons, 18 decks, 2610 staterooms, 17 eateries (including 7 specialty restaurants/ Britannia has just 3), 12 bars/lounges, 13 entertainment venues, 4 swimming pools, 16 outdoor whirlpools. The top-deck Dome is an entertainment space, with a swimming pool, large jacuzzies, a retractable stage. This all-weather venue hosts daily entertainment and dining and nightly shows (aerial performances and light projections onto the covering glass roof).

P&O UK's newest ship is also LNG-powered (by liquefied natural gas). Two similar-design ships (180K tons) were also ordered for CCL-Carnival Cruise Line . On January 26, 2018, Carnival Corporation signed a shipbuilding contract with Meyer Werft for building a second (180,000 GT) liner for P&O, with the delivery scheduled for 2022. As of 2018, Carnival Corp’s fleet of newbuilds ( on order and under construction ) numbered 19 units, scheduled for deliveries in 2018-2022.

In January 2016, Carnival Corporation signed an MoA (memo of agreement) with Fincantieri to build 4 new units. Contracts were finalized in April 2016. Of these, 2 vessels were for Costa Asia (homeported in China), one for Princess and one for P&O Australia. With this shipbuilding order, the Corporation had a total of 17 new ships scheduled for deliveries between 2016 and 2020. The four vessels will be built at Fincantieri's shipyards in Monfalcone and Marghera, with scheduled deliveries in 2019-2020.

Three of the vessels are designed with gross tonnage 133,500 tons, LOA length is 323 m (1060 ft) and capacity 4000 passengers plus 1450 crew (2 are for Costa Asia, 1 for P&O AU). One ship with GT 143,700 tons and capacity 3560 passengers is for Princess. Both Costa ships are exclusively for the booming Chinese market. Each vessel is powered by two MAN diesel engines (model 14V48 / 60CR) plus three MAN diesel engines (medium-speed, model 8L48 / 60CR), providing total power output 62,400 kW. The engines are Tier-II compliant.

P&O Cruises Australia

P&O Cruises Australia Ltd is a British-American company with corporate headquarters at Carnival House (Southampton, England UK). P&O Australia is a sister company of P&O UK. Both are under Carnival UK's executive control. Currently, P&O Australia operates 3 boats deployed in the South Pacific Ocean on island-hopping itineraries - mainly roundtrips from homeports in Australia.

After numerous changes in the company’s organization, in 2000 P&O Group demerged all cruise shipping operations. Then, P&O Princess Cruises was created- a new company independent of P&O; consisting of AIDA Cruises , Princess Cruises , P&O Cruises Australia, P&O Cruises (UK), and later "Ocean Village" and A-Rosa Cruises (riverboats).

In 2003, Carnival Corporation merged with P&O Princess Cruises thus forming Carnival Corporation & plc- the largest cruise company in the world, with eleven cruise lines portfolio, including P&O AU. Official website pocruises.com.aunofollow.

Princess' oldest ship - Regal Princess, was transferred to P&O Australia in October 2007, and after a month of drydock refurbishment entered service as Pacific Dawn.

Carnival Corporation informed about the closure of Ocean Village (UK-based travel brand) on October 30, 2008. Both Ocean Village ships were transferred to P&O Australia - Ocean Village 2 (as Pacific Jewel, in December 2009) and Ocean Village 1 (as Pacific Pearl, in December 2010).

P&O ships sail on 270+ itineraries each year (with 120+ of them departing from Southampton), and visiting 90+ countries on 6 continents.

Pacific Pearl was renamed MV Columbus and in 2017 started operations for CMV . Pacific Pearl left the fleet in April 2017, after completing 294 voyages for P&O and carrying 1+ million passengers over 5 years. In November 2019, for Pacific Aria (now Celestyal Journey) and Pacific Dawn (now Ambience) were signed presale agreements with CMV and both ships were planned to start operations for the UK-based company in 2021 as "CMV Amy Johnson" (Pacific Dawn) and "CMV Ida Pfeiffer" (Pacific Aria). In September-October 2020, following CMV's bankruptcy , both vessels were acquired by new shipowners.

On November 25, 2015: P&O AU's entire fleet (all 5 liners) gathered in Sydney Harbour to celebrate the arrival of the fleetmates Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden.

In June 2018, P&O Australia launched with  Pacific Explorer "The Big Laugh" onboard show program - advertised as "the biggest comedy festival at sea". The program included all 14 stand-up comedy celebrities performing a total of 36 shipboard live shows (combined over 33 hours live performances). The program started with the 4-day roundtrip Sydney cruise to Moreton Island (departure June 20).

Among the guest comedians were Jimeoin (Irish), Matthew Matt Okine (AU), David Gerard Callan (Australian), Scared Weird Little Guys (Australian comedy music duo - John Fleming and Rusty Berther), David William "Hughesy" Hughes (AU), Harley Breen (AU), Claire Hooper (AU). "The Big Laugh" program comprised of all 72 comedy- themed cruises in 2018-2019. The famous Australian comedians performed during 2-, 3- and 4-night itineraries ("SeaBreaks") leaving roundtrip out of Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Cairns, Auckland NZ.

In 2019, P&O AU scheduled the ever largest "comedy cruise" program in the company's history - 38 itineraries (January through October). On March 7, 2018, was announced that Pacific Eden is sold to the UK-based company CMV , joining CMV's fleet in April 2019.

Since 2007, P&O Australia ships' onboard retail shops are managed by Harding (UK-based travel and cruise retail group). In 2020, Harding was acquired by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP (1983-founded, NYC-based investment management firm with USD 34+ billion in managed assets). Harding has hubs in Bristol (England) , Miami (Florida USA)  and Sydney (NSW Australia) .

In May 2023, P&O UK introduced four new drink packages available fleetwide but only on longer voyages, with durations of at least 5 nights (or longer).

The beverage packages are at a fixed price per person and per day. The package's pricing is lower if purchased online and before the voyage.

P&O Cruise Personaliser

PandO Cruise Personaliser is an online service that allows passengers to update their before-sailing information and see in a concise form all their booking details. P&O Personaliser is NOT mandatory to complete but may be of great help in cases of emergency for the company to contact family members, relatives, friends.

To log in, you'll need to input your first and surname, and cruise reference number. It is received as part of your reservation confirmation (up to 120 days prior to departure, not available for 18-yo) or upon booking (up to 1 year). The same number serves all people included in the booking. On the Web page, there's information about cruise itinerary, stateroom (category and number), boarding times, contact info (including emergency contacts), passport data, medical and dietary requirements (if requested).

PO Cruise Insurance is optional. If purchased, the Insurance policy type is also shown (Standard or higher), package deal type, all kinds of pre-made reservations (shore excursions, Air, Spa), credit card number, luggage tags, etc.

• Dining /medical requests can't be entered online - they must be specified in the manual form.
• The accessible information about changes and updates pertains ONLY to a phone number, address, passport, emergency contacts.
• You can't book a cruise through P&O Cruise Personaliser - booking requires full payment and immigration details.
• Through the Personaliser you can make online reservations (shore excursions, tours, Spa, hairdresser, specialty restaurants), to update special requests and onboard preferences, or to add some additional services (babysitting, amenities, etc).
• Itinerary changes are also listed in the Cruise Personaliser form, along with other important updates.
• Immediately call P&O if you have forgotten or lost your booking number. Call between 7 am – 8 pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time - Monday to Friday) and Saturday (8 am - 5 pm) - phone number 1300-159-454.

PO Cruise Personaliser is accessed by both travel agents and passengers. With personal bookings (through a travel agent or P&O Reservations Centre) passengers receive reference numbers (after confirmation). On a particular booking, each passenger can access the Personaliser using the booking reference number and first name-surname. If you're not the booking person, contact the one who did it for obtaining booking reference. After log-in, note that all passengers' names in the booking party are displayed under the same reference number.

IMPORTANT - Each of the same-booking passengers is able to access the info about you and the other, i.e. you can update and provide information of all other passengers in your booking, and they can change your information. If you wish so, you could provide P&O with other passengers' personal information. Another case is when they are minors (younger than 18 years old). Then you must be a parent or legal guardian.

After providing P&O cruise company with the personal data needed on the Personaliser (and also with additional info if asked for more details), this database is used for updating pre-cruise information.

Certain information is sometimes required under maritime-customs-immigration-security laws. Personaliser info may be disclosed to P&O Cruises service providers (ticketing companies, travel, and port agents, authorities, emergency response providers, immigration, airlines, customs, shore tour operators, related entities) for Carnival Corporation's business purposes. Certain information is collected because of customs or immigration laws requirements. If you refuse to provide the information requested in the Personaliser, they may not be able to process the booking or provide certain services during the voyage.

Probably not by phone though 😁

Very close...as long as there is availability of course.  

2 days was not uncommon for the caribbean season, giving you just enough time to get covid tested.

I guess in theory it could be even the day before now (again dependent on covid constraints)

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Suri Cruise looked radiant in a patterned bodice-style gown while attending her high school senior prom Tuesday night.

The 18-year-old looked like the spitting image of her mom, Katie Holmes, as she posed with a group of friends on the streets of New York City.

Cruise was all smiles as she hugged her pals and snapped some pictures with her date, who looked dapper in a dark blue suit.

The young man was seen holding Cruise around the waist in one photo, and it appears the pair left the photo shoot holding hands. However, the nature of their relationship is unknown.

The soon-to-be LaGuardia High School graduate paired her high-low dress with a simple black clutch, strappy gold heels and a pink rose corsage.

She wore her hair down in waves, twisting back the front pieces to frame her face. The brunette beauty opted for slightly more dramatic makeup for the big night, donning a mauve lip to match her gown.

While Holmes likely sent her daughter off for the fun-filled evening, the teen’s father, Tom Cruise, was across the pond in London.

Page Six was previously told that the father-daughter duo haven’t seen one another in years as he has “no part” in her life.

After graduating from high school, Suri is expected to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa.

She revealed her big decision in a TikTok posted by one of her classmates.

In the video, which has since been taken down, Suri proudly repped a sweatshirt from the university for “LaG commitment day.”

While she has yet to reveal what she will be studying, she is reportedly “leaning towards” getting a degree in fashion.

Earlier this month, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum praised her daughter for having “her own sense of style ” during an interview with the Sunday Times .

However, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum joked that her daughter sometimes sneaks into her closet for inspiration.

“Sometimes the basics definitely disappear. But that’s fine,” she continued, noting that she has “saved some things here and there” to give the teen.

Suri often uses the streets of NYC as her runway, stepping out in double denim ,  fun patterns and often her favorite $2,700 shearling coat.
