There are many reasons to cruise with P&O, but one of the most important is the sheer choice of cruises they offer. Unlike many other cruise lines they don't simply repeat the same itineraries time after time. You can choose from an extraordinarily diverse range of ports: 180 different places in 75 countries! Choose from a range of sun-worshipping island-hopping cruises, to historical landmarks, or a spectacular natural wonders cruise. Or maybe a combination!

Life on Board

In many ways, your life on board as a P&O Cruise passenger is very much what you want it to be. If you're looking for total peace, calm and relaxation, you'll find it. If you're looking for entertainment, nightlife and adventure you'll find that too. The fact is, most people want a bit of both and P&O Cruises are only too happy to oblige. There's so much choice - of food, entertainment, facilities and accommodation - on a P&O cruise, that it's very hard to sum it all up. Each ship has its own particular personality and atmosphere.

Cabins

Staying on board is designed to be pleasant and luxurious! P&O goes to all sorts of trouble to make sure your stay is a wonderful relaxing one. For example, you will be assigned a Cabin Steward whose job it is to make sure you are completely pampered. From waking you up (at your designated time of course!) and bringing you tea and biscuits to turning your bed down at night, his job is to ensure you are well looked after.

As for the cabins, they were designed to appeal to the widest possible spectrum of people and so vary in size and specification according to individual passenger requirements and budgets. Choose from a wide selection of cabins, from 3 or 4 berth family cabins and single rooms with king-size beds, to staterooms and deluxe suites with their own balconies. All have refrigerator, colour TV, direct-dial telephone, shower and hairdryer, and individually controlled air-conditioning. Above all, all cabins are characterised by the same design detail and innovation that regular passengers have come to know and expect from P&O.

Themes & Celebrations

The Honeymoon Collection and The Anniversary Collection are, as their names suggest, for newlyweds or those commemorating a landmark anniversary. If you're one of these couples, you'll enjoy special privileges and extra touches of luxury (Champagne, flowers, on-board credit, for example). The Newcomers' Collection is designed for holidaymakers who've never cruised before, to help you get the best out of your maiden voyage.

P&O also has what they call their Theme Cruises, designed for people who want to combine their holidays with their own special interests or passions. Classical music has already been announced, with a range of other themes to be confirmed including Antiques, Comedy, Golf, Sixties, Jazz, Natural World, Seventies and more!
