P&O Cruises

P&O Cruises makes no-fly holidays easy, with a wide choice of voyages sailing round trip from Southampton. Step aboard without airport queues or flight connections, then explore destinations including the Norwegian Fjords, Canary Islands, Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean. Arcadia, Arvia, Aurora, Britannia, Iona and Ventura all offer Southampton departures, giving you a broad choice of ship styles and voyage lengths.

Iona and Arvia are P&O Cruises’ largest ships, each welcoming up to 5,200 guests and offering more choice across dining, entertainment and accommodation. Their glass-roofed SkyDomes provide a poolside retreat by day before transforming into lively entertainment venues after dark. Both ships feature The Keel & Cow, The Olive Grove and The Quays, while individual attractions, restaurants and activities give each sister ship a distinctive personality.

P&O Cruises’ family-friendly ships combine children’s clubs with pools, cinemas, live shows and accommodation designed for different generations. Younger guests are supported from six months to 17 years through nursery facilities, The Reef’s Splashers, Surfers and Scubas clubs, and dedicated Scene or H2O spaces for teenagers. Sessions include games, crafts, sports and challenges, while the Night Nursery provides an additional option for parents with younger children.

Included dining ranges from Freedom and Club restaurants to international buffets, poolside snacks and afternoon tea. Speciality options add even more choice, including contemporary Indian dishes at Sindhu, refined dining at Epicurean, Mediterranean plates at The Glass House and gastropub favourites at The Keel & Cow. Iona and Arvia also feature included venues such as The Olive Grove and The Quays, while Marco Pierre White creates menus for P&O Cruises’ Celebration Nights.

P&O Cruises rewards returning guests through the Peninsular Club, a loyalty programme designed to offer exclusive benefits, onboard discounts and priority services as you cruise more often. Members earn points for every night spent onboard, unlocking enhanced perks such as onboard spend discounts, exclusive events and priority services across different membership tiers.
