Founded in 1940 as an England-Iberia link, the famous cruise line began operating passenger services in 1844 – making them the world’s oldest cruise line. Their routes included Gibraltar, Malta, and Athens, all from their home port of Southampton. Today, over 175 years later, they remain one of the leaders in cruise holidays, sailing to destinations all over the world. Onboard their luxury liners, you’ll enjoy the very best of British hospitality and many great cruising traditions.
From bands at the quayside and afternoon tea, to glamorous formal evenings and sumptuous dining – a P&O Cruises cruise is an experience in itself. Each of their seven ships boasts inviting pools and broad teak decks for sunbathing. Well stocked libraries provide traditional entertainment while superbly appointed shops provide the opportunity for some well-earned retail therapy. Relax in beautiful lounges and bars or dine in select venues designed by Marco Pierre White and Michelin-starred Atul Kochhar.
