If you’re someone who likes to plan your holidays ahead, or book early to get the best deal, then you need to know about P&O Cruises brand new holiday collection. P&O released their Winter 2025-26 holiday collection this week and there are some incredible deals, as well as some new itineraries! We’re going to take you through all of the most important information to make sure you get everything you want from your 2025/26 holiday.
What’s new?
With a new holiday collection comes amazing new holidays (of course!), P&O have really brought out all the stops with this launch and we hope you’re just as excited as we are. Whether you’re looking to top up your tan in the Caribbean sunshine, explore the scenic wonders of Norway, and maybe spot the Northern Lights, or you’re going all out for 2025 and want to sail the world, then P&O Cruises have the holiday for you.
In search for the Northern Lights…
If you’re a fan of medieval towns, cobblestoned streets and breath-taking landscapes then you’ll be a fan of Aurora’s extended Northern Lights cruise. Setting sail in December 2025 Aurora will embark on a 14-night adventure deep into Norway as you search for the natural phenomenon that is the Northern Lights, or more formally known as Aurora Borealis. Only fitting that Aurora will be the ship to embark on this bucket-list journey.
Is South America on your bucket-list?…
Sticking to the Aurora news, not only will she be in search of the Northern Lights in 2025, she will also be setting off an incredible 75-night Grand Tour around South America in 2026! If that isn’t enough amazing news, this itinerary will also include 10 extra nights for you to explore the colourful scenery, cuisine and culture of South America. With even more for you to discover along the way on this 75-night sailing, including P&O Cruises first visit to Sao Paulo in ten long years! If you’re looking for an adventure in 2026 then this should be top of your list.
The Caribbean is calling your name…
If you’re looking for more of a relaxing, sun-filled getaway then Britannia is the ship for you. With brand-new Caribbean fly-cruise holidays released for winter 2025/26 there’s no better way to make your friends and family at home jealous than posting pictures of your winter sun adventure. With two new itineraries being launched you can get yourself to Jamaica, Dominican Republic and even Grand Turk, as well as the classic Caribbean islands P&O Cruises is known for visiting. All of these Caribbean itineraries will, as usual, include flights from London, with regional airports bookable for a supplement (subject to availability).
Explore destinations by day and night…
Let us as you a question, have you ever been docked in a port of call that you love so much you wish you could stay for longer? Well P&O Cruises have granted you that wish. With more extended stays than ever on their new 2025/26 winter itineraries, you can find yourself experiencing destinations in a whole other light (quite literally), as the sun goes down. Whether you’ve got an overnight stay in Barcelona or a late departure in Hamburg, this extra time will not go to waste.
From me, to me…
What better way to treat yourself for Christmas than a magical cruise around Northern Europe’s most popular Christmas markets. Embark on a Christmas cruise on Arcadia throughout December 2025, featuring four overnight stays in destinations such as; Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo and Amsterdam, meaning you get to spend more time exploring the magic of these cities at one of the best ,(in our opinion), times of year.
P&O Cruises Pricing Guide
You may be a seasoned sailor with P&O Cruises, but if you’re not and you’re looking to book your very first holiday onboard a P&O Cruises ship, we wanted to give you the low down on how their pricing system works, so you can make the best decision for your needs.
Early Saver Fare
First up is the Early Saver Fare, this is the basic price with P&O, no added extras included, however you do need to be somewhat flexible if you’re choosing this fare type. Let us explain a little bit more about the Early Saver prices…
– These prices are available on all sailings, at selected times, depending on how far in advance the booking date is from departure date.
– You don’t get to choose your cabin number, this will be assigned to you by P&O any time from the booking date up until the day of departure.
– Flexibility is required for your preferred dining style, time and table size, your requests for all three of these are never guaranteed.
– Possible complimentary cabin upgrades, depending on availability after non-saver bookings.
– 15% deposit
Select Price
Next we have the Select Price, this is a customer favourite when it comes to booking a P&O Cruise as 9 times out of 10 it is better value for money. Let us take you through the inclusions…
– Available on all sailings, all year round
– Your choice of cabin number at the time of booking (subject to availability)
– First priority for dining style, seating time and table size
– You will be eligible for complimentary cabin upgrades (where available). You also get the choice to opt out of this if you have already chosen your perfect cabin and would like to remain there. (As after you have been upgraded, you can’t move back, and you may be put in a position you’re not too fond of on the ship i.e Forward/Aft etc)
– Choose from either onboard spending money, return coach travel to Southampton or car parking in Southampton
– Shuttle buses in port of call (where they are provided by P&O Cruises)
