There's a world out there


As a shipping company carrying passengers and cargo around the globe, P&O gained an unrivalled knowledge of the world’s oceans and seas from the Mediterranean to the Far East and Australia and this expertise can still be seen today in the wide range of diverse itineraries that are offered to our passengers. We pride ourselves on knowing the best places to visit and the best ways to get there.


In 1844 writer William Makepeace Thackeray was offered free passage on a succession of P&O steamers, which took him on a Mediterranean tour to Cairo. He subsequently published insightful memoirs in “Notes of a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo” (his name lives on in both his works and as the namesake of Oriana’s writing room). Later in 1904 on P&O’s first ‘cruising yacht’ Vectis, official shore excursions were offered with Thomas Cook. Currently we offer over 2,000 tours a year, to give our passengers a range of extraordinary experiences and a unique insight into the regions in which they are travelling.
