The Oasis Spa and salon If pampering is a priority on holiday then the Oasis Spa should be one of the first places you visit. In this serene space, a menu of tempting treatments will leave you relaxed and renewed as expert beauty therapists scrub, massage and polish you back to perfection. Ventura, Azura and Arcadia also feature thermal suites and on Azura, The Retreat is an open air spa terrace designed exclusively for adults. Azura even offers Spa Staterooms for those dedicated to the art of relaxation.
Keeping healthy There’s ample opportunity to keep fit during your holiday with a well equipped gym and exercise classes, a number of inviting swimming pools, golf nets (or golf simulator) and, on ships with a sports court, a choice of short tennis and cricket, five aside football and basketball. You’ll also find deck quoits and shuffleboard – traditional maritime deck games – and expansive open decks to walk or jog along.
The best of the big screen If you’re a film buff, you might be excited to learn that Azura features the fleet’s first open air cinema. This giant screen shows a variety of classic British films, family favourites and the latest blockbusters; all accompanied by great cinema snacks. Arcadia, Aurora and Oriana feature dedicated indoor cinemas and on Ventura and Oceana you can watch films in their theatre during the day. There’s also a selection of films shown on your in cabin TV and in staterooms on Ventura and Azura you can watch new release pay-per-view rentals. Sports fans needn’t miss out either as, satellite permitting, we show the big events including football, rugby, cricket, golf, tennis, athletics and, every four years, the World Cup and Olympics!
In good company There’s plenty of personalities on board and we’d like to introduce you to as many as possible. There’s the chance to meet the Captain and officers at the Captain’s Cocktail Party (on cruises over 3 nights) and during the afternoon, we hold casual chat shows where we introduce some of our key figures. There’s the opportunity to explore behind the scenes when we bring below deck operations up into the atrium and when we open the doors of the restaurant galley. And from dawn until dusk, you’ll spot our officers out and about around the ship.
Learn something new P&O Cruises Spotlight programme is a fascinating and fun series of events that you can enjoy on your cruise*. Let our experts enthral you with their knowledge and you could return home with a new-found passion. Spotlight events include talks and interactive workshops, featuring subjects as diverse as history, current affairs, the natural world, art, dance and gastronomy. All are delivered with enthusiasm by top experts in their field, including some well-known faces. On longer cruises (three weeks and above) learn a new skill on a series of interactive workshops covering pastimes such as painting, pottery, jewellery making and card craft, plus language lessons which tie in with your itinerary.
You’ll find computers on board each of our ships with sessions to help improve your technical skills, plus photography workshops which offer insights into photo and film editing. Our port talks present the highlights of your next destination along with insider tips on the best cafés, shops and museums that can be found beyond the usual tourist haunts. (You can also borrow travel guides from the ship’s library or buy them from the bookshop). And after dinner, catch personal stories from recognised TV, sports and radio personalities.
