P&O Cruises

Entertainment On-board P&O Cruises

There is plenty to do on a P&O Cruises ship, morning, noon and night!

Every P&O Cruises ship has swimming pools, spas, saunas, salons, a gym, golf nets, a library, dance classes and shops. As well as all this you can entertain yourself with an outdoor SeaScreen cinema, Music Festivals at Sea and Spotlight enrichment programmes which give you a chance to listen to a famous speaker. Whether you want to be relaxed or entertained - the choice is yours.

In the evening you can sit back and prepared to be wowed at the Headliners theatre or catch a comedy performance by a famous comedian. Afterwards, venture along to one of the many bars for a glass of your favourite tipple as you chat with some of your fellow passengers.

If you’re worried you’ll miss something happening on-board, you only need to consult your daily Horizon newsletter that’s delivered directly to your cabin. Finally, the real cruise geeks amongst you can venture on a four-hour behind-the-scenes tour of the ship and find out exactly what life is like below the stairs…
