Glittering, modern P&O Cruise ships Iona and Arvia will be spending the majority of their winter in 2027 and 2028 in the charming Caribbean. Both ships will depart from Barbados, Antigua and St Kitts (a first for Arvia!) and operate two-week itineraries calling at a range of mesmerising ports of call, from the soft shores of dazzling Dominica and the cool island vibes of Curacao, to the vast landscapes of Martinique and the colourful isle of Grenada.
These two traditionally adult-only cruises will not only be operating a number of no-kids-allowed cruises, such as breaks in the warmer climates of the Canary Islands, but the P&O Cruise ships will also be sailing on a range of family-friendly breaks departing at Christmas and in the spring of 2028.
Yes, children will be allowed onboard a handful of Arcadia cruises visiting the Canaries during the festive season in 2027, and Aurora cruises sailing to the Baltics and Western Europe during Christmas and New Year 2027, plus a special Northern Lights cruise departing on 30th March 2028.
After Christmas 2027, Aurora will set off on a Grand Tour cruise, discovering the wonders of South America. The 75-night circumnavigation voyage stops by world-famous destinations, from the bustling Rio de Janeiro, home to the mighty Christ the Redeemer statue, to scenic cruising around Cape Horn, just off the southern tip of South America.
Arcadia will once again set sail on an amazing world cruise - departing for a whopping 124 nights! The Western Circumnavigation Round World Cruise cruise will stop at iconic cities, such as Sydney, Singapore and San Francisco, and spend a considerable amount of time exploring the modern yet traditional ports of Japan.
For cruise fans who like to swap the UK for more festive destinations brimming with yuletide joy, Ventura will be operating a range of short breaks in mid-December 2027 to Europe - a great opportunity to see the continent's most adorable Christmas markets!
After the New Year, Ventura will set off on a mix of mini cruises and winter sun itineraries. Those searching for winter sun can hop on board Britannia's 35-night UK to UK Caribbean cruise, voyaging to the very best islands in the Caribbean.
