Why P&O Cruises?

Favourite Cruise
We are Britain’s Number One A holiday at sea is quite unlike any other; the world’s most amazing sights and experiences are brought to your door and your ship becomes a part of your holiday like no ordinary hotel ever could. P&O Cruises has been perfecting the art of cruising for over 170 years and we are delighted that more British passengers choose to travel with us than any other cruise line (we’ve once again been voted Britain’s Favourite Cruise Company*). A familiar home from home atmosphere can be enjoyed on each of our ships, which is a result of our tailored entertainment, menus and style of service, all of which are tuned to the tastes of our British passengers. In 2011
there are 156 cruise holidays to choose from visiting 270 of the world’s most wonderful destinations in 90 countries, more than any other British cruise line.
Ships, not resorts Our passengers tell us that there is something special about being on board one of our ships and unlike many other cruise lines, our passion for exploring the world by sea and all those nautical traditions that go with it are very much a part of a P&O Cruises holiday. Perhaps it is seeing the officers and crew around the ship as they delight in sharing your experiences, or enjoying the great traditions of cruising like afternoon tea and silver service dining or simply watching the world go by from your private balcony; we understand how to make the stresses and strains of everyday life seem very far away.

We like to give you choice How you enjoy your holiday is completely up to you; whether you choose a family-friendly ship or one that is exclusively for adults. We offer an incredible choice of shore excursions to help you make the most of your time ashore and, when on board, you will find your ship has everything you would expect from a very modern holiday; a first class spa and gym; a dazzling choice of bars and restaurants; cinemas; theatres with shows every evening; dancing and cabaret lounges; shops; libraries and even golf simulators. Whilst each ship has different things to offer, whichever you choose, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere are guaranteed.
You, at your best From the friendly greeting you receive as you step on board, to the Captain’s gala dinner where the entire ship dresses up to the nines, or from a child’s birthday party where Noddy is the special guest, to a romantic dinner for two at a Marco Pierre White restaurant, everything about a P&O Cruises holiday will leave you feeling simply at your best. This feeling is not reserved for birthdays and anniversaries (although we make these rather special as well) it can be found in everything we do, even how your bar steward remembers your favourite tipple, it’s simply how time at sea should be.
