Britannia

Discover P&O Cruises' Britannia

Britannia is one of P&O Cruises' best-known family-friendly ships, sailing since 2015 and refreshed in 2024. Welcoming more than 3,600 guests, she combines contemporary design with familiar P&O Cruises favourites, from the striking Grand Atrium and Star Burst sculpture to Headliners Theatre and The Crystal Room.

Britannia offers a wide choice of P&O Cruises from Southampton, including holidays to the Norwegian Fjords, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Iceland. During winter, she also sails Caribbean itineraries from Barbados, giving you the choice between convenient no-fly cruises from the UK and fly-cruise sunshine further afield.

On board you'll find 27 bars and restaurants, including The Glass House, Sindhu, Epicurean and The Limelight Club, alongside included main dining and casual options. Families are well catered for with The Reef children's clubs and four swimming pools, while adults can unwind at the Oasis Spa or The Retreat. You can also explore the latest P&O Cruises drinks packages if you'd prefer to bundle more of your onboard spending into your holiday.

Grand Atrium & Entertainment

Britannia’s Grand Atrium, crowned by the Star Burst sculpture, is the heart of the ship. After dark, enjoy Headliners Theatre, live music in The Crystal Room and entertainment across the ship.
