Brand New P&O Ship Planned

It has been announced this week that P&O have ordered a brand new ship for the fleet to enter service in March 2015.  The ship is planned to be 141,000 tons and will carry 3611 passengers.  It will be the largest in the P&O fleet being larger than the Azura and Ventura which are the largest in the P&O fleet at the moment.  The new ship will be the largest cruise ship built specifically for the British market.
So what do we know so far about the new P&O ship that hasn’t been named yet?
The ship will offer a stylish new design with an exceptional number of passenger facilities.  The ship will combine the classic favourites of the Oriana and Aurora and choice and variety from Azura and Ventura, along with new features.  P&O hope to attract lots of new passengers to the brand with the launch of this new ship.  I am not too sure how the new build will go down with past passengers of P&O.  The larger of P&O’s ships attract different clients to the smaller of the ships so it will be interesting to see what sort of passenger the new ship will attract.  I haven’t been on the larger of the P&O ships but I think as long as the service is as good as it is across the ships in service at the moment it will go down well.  It will be interesting to know what Itineraries the planned new ship will take.  I will keep you posted and let you know when I know more.
