No rest for the cruise agents

Well I am back from a lovely break in Menorca to the news that P&O are launching there Summer 2019 cruises…..
That is a good 6 or 7 months earlier than normal, they did launch earlier for Summer 2018 and this obviously worked for them. For us cruise agents that means we have 3 Summer seasons on sale at the same time. There is literally no down time in sales anymore where there used to be peaks and troughs in the business I can honestly say every month is rolling into the next with very little down time. Good news for us as we hate being quiet !!!

Whats happening in 2019 with P&O;
There is nearly 180 itineraries on the 8 ships to all the popular destinations.

There are nearly 180 itineraries on P&O’s eight ships to popular destinations.New ports of call include Le Verdon, for Bordeaux, and Fredericia, Denmark.
