P&O Cruises are at the forefront of British cruising not least because their five ships depart from Southampton to the sounds of a traditional brass band! Of course this makes them a great choice for guests who don't want to fly but this doesn't mean dull destinations as the P&O fleet is designed to travel from the Amazon jungles to the Arctic, in fact they travel to over 200 destinations in nine countries, that's more than any other British Cruise line.
This really is modern cruising with the ships neatly designed to cater to particular British customers. Oceana is a family-friendly contemporary oasis with a soaring atrium and glass lifts while the Aurora and Oriana offer history and refinement with their classic lines and broad decks. And P& O are clever, while the kid's facilities are excellent on these ships, the opulent Arcadia is childfree, ensuring you can enjoy the 3,000 works of art and Gary Rhodes restaurant in peace.
The choices don't end here. P&O offer every length of holiday from 2 night party cruises to 38 night leisurely voyages. Flexibility continues with their dining and drinking options, which can be as formal or relaxed as you like so if you fancy a pint in the pub or cocktails with the Captain, it's all possible with P&O.
There are things that all the ships have in common, like the quality of the evening entertainment, with a heavy emphasis on live music and the fridge and tea-making facilities in every stateroom.
Naturally, there is always the feeling that you are aboard a British ship with traditional values and a sense of history, but this is very much cruising for the modern generation so mix this with pampering spas, cyber cafés and top world cuisine and you get a feel for a P&O cruise.
