P&O Is bigger really better

Greetings Cruisers

Yes it’s me again, back with another item. So it seems we are well into the new year now and it has been crazy with bookings, you guys all love a cruise that’s for sure. Well I am not complaining it keeps me in a job.

Anyways back to the job at hand, so it was recently announced that P&O have another ship on order, apparently its quite a biggie, and too be honest I am not too sure why, everyday I get asked “When will P&O replace the Artemis and Adonia” it seems there is certainly a market out there for smaller ships. So why on earth would P&O need to order anther 2 massive ships? Well I am guessing it is more to do with profit than actually listening to their customers, because personally I think the UK has way too many big ships already, but hey what do I know?

This is what P&O had to say

P&O Cruises has just confirmed a second ship is now on order and is slated for delivery in 2022.

UK cruisers now have two megaships on the horizon, and this 5,200-passenger ship is still yet to be named along with its sister slated to arrive in 2020.

Both vessels will be the largest cruise ships ever built for the British market and are being built by Meyer Werft at its shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

The next generation ship will treat passengers to a range of innovative new features and experiences onboard with stylish interiors, the very latest dining trends and ground-breaking entertainment options.

Like its sister ship, the new vessel will run on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel, which will significantly reduce air emissions. The “green cruising” technology will make both new ships the most environmentally friendly in P&Os history.

“We have a bold and ambitious vision for P&O Cruises to become Britain’s number one holiday choice and we can only do that by increasing our fleet,” said P&O Cruises’ Senior Vice President Paul Ludlow.

“The build for our 2020 ship begins this spring and it will offer all generations of British guests the holiday of a lifetime on the next generation of P&O Cruises ships.”

What do you all think about these big ships ?
