Probably Britain’s most famous cruise line, P and O Cruises are the largest and most modern cruise company out there, with a rich history and excellent reputation - they’re always a popular choice. P&O Cruises are well-liked with first time cruisers, frequent passengers and also offers great amenities and itineraries for family cruises. Cruise weddings with P&O cruises are too becoming more and more popular.
P&O Cruises are the creators of cruising as we know it. Currently, P & O Cruises sail to over 180 different destinations across the world. In fact, they dock in more ports than any other UK cruise line. Each liner boasts a traditional and cherished elegance, allowing peaceful days at sea and captivating evenings.
Throughout the year, P&O offer cruises from Southampton to most Mediterranean destinations. If you prefer, we can arrange a stay at the De Vere Grand Harbour hotel in Southampton the night before your cruise, including a free transfer to the port. P and O cruises also offer voyages from other destinations and flights for these can be organised from most UK airports.
Launched in April 2008, P&O’s liner, Ventura, is the largest ship ever built for the UK cruise market. Ventura offers a fresh approach to cruising and provides exclusive and luxurious holidays for young and old. The most recent P&O ship, Azura, offers an up-to-date class of cruising and offers pre-bookable Spa Stateroom packages.
P&O Cruises History
P&O Cruises (originally the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company) boasts an illustrious history in passenger shipping since 1837. Although the company's suggestion that they invented cruising may not be entirely accurate, P&O is assuredly a pioneer of modern cruising. Having set aside such throwbacks as passenger classes, the company acquired Princess Cruises in 1974. P&O then purchased Sitmar Cruises and merged it with Princess in 1988, and the passenger-cruise business-known as P&O Princess-was spun off in 2000.

we travelled with our 12
year old son. He
thoroughly enjoyed his
holiday. He had a great
time at the kids club,
and loved the food and
activities.
We enjoyed the food,
entertainment and ports
of call. The sailaway
parties were great.
This was our 4th cruise
to the Caribbean and our
first on such a large
ship. We have cruised 8
times before on P&O,
Celebrity, Princess
& Costa. We really
enjoyed this cruise
overall.

The Azura is a state of

In December 2011 we went

spacious enough,...
