Stay entertained on board in the expansive spa with thermal suite and hydro-therapy pool, a three-tiered theatre, and a boutique cinema.

Arvia – The Caribbean

The newest P&O Cruises ship, Arvia, joined the fleet in December 2022, bringing more freedom, greater choice,  sunny vibes and spectacular views. Designed for sunshine and blue skies but set for adventures whatever the weather,  Arvia – meaning ‘from the seashore’ – holds the promise of happy days and fun-filled nights to come.

Aurora – Europe, The Caribbean and South America

Exclusively for adults, Aurora is an enduring favourite within the P&O Cruises fleet. A water feature at her heart forms the centrepiece of her atrium, one of her signature venues. You’ll also find a range of bars, a cinema, theatre and an outdoor pool with a retractable roof, while dining highlights include The Glass House and The Beach House.

Azura – The Canary Islands

A firm family favourite, known for her laidback days and lively nights, and offers an incredible choice of bars, restaurants, sports and spa facilities, entertainment, plus lots of other exciting and unique features. Azura offers the perfect balance, bringing the opportunity to enjoy quality time together as well as time spent separately.

Britannia – The Caribbean

There has never been a more stylish way to see the world than aboard Britannia. Whether you are new to cruising or a veteran of the high seas, your moments on board are sure to be truly memorable. Refined elegance, neutral décor and opulent furnishings set the scene for boutique cruising with acquaintances old and new.

Iona – Canary Islands, Northern Europe and The Caribbean

Holiday like never before on Iona. Making the destination the star of the show, Iona offers uninterrupted views from the sleek Grand Atrium and experiences both aboard and ashore that get you closer to everything that makes the places you visit so amazing. 

Ventura – Europe and The Caribbean

There’s always something happening on board Ventura. Enjoy delicious fine dining, a tranquil spa, many quiet spaces to unwind,  great sports facilities and four pools. Evenings are particularly memorable, with the lavish two-deck theatre where you’ll witness elaborate shows and stand-up comedy. There are twelve places to dine including three main restaurants.

Highlights of the P&O Cruises winter 2026/2027 collection

With new destinations to be explored across the world, there is plenty to look forward to from the latest collection of P&O Cruises sailings.

• Before embarking on her World Cruise, Arcadia will embark on an 18-night journey to Portugal and the Canary Islands, adding new destinations in Morocco and Cape Verde. Experience the finest of North Africa as you meander through quaint cobblestone streets and explore trinkets in the local markets.
• In 2026, Britannia is extending the festive season with a 28-night Christmas and New Year journey. Begin your adventure in Barbados, where you’ll meet Britannia and embark on splendid explorations of the colourful Caribbean islands, allowing extra time to indulge in the holiday festivities.
• For the first time in 2026, ring in the New Year with an incredible fireworks display in one of four locations: Madeira, Hamburg, Barcelona or Lisbon. 

• After Christmas, Aurora will embark on a new 75-night Grand Tour around Central America, the Caribbean and the USA, which features a partial transit of the Panama Canal, a maiden call to Galveston (Texas), New Orleans, Miami and Port Canaveral.
• Two new cruises have been added on board Azura, enabling guests to make the most of Christmas Day at sea. As Christmas Day will fall on a Friday in 2026 – usually a disembarkation day – the schedules have been adapted to accommodate this.
• New for P&O Cruises in winter 2026/2027 is a 21-night Central Mediterranean cruise on board Ventura, with calls to the popular destinations of Valletta (Malta), Piraeus (for Athens), Naples, Civitavecchia (for Rome) and Barcelona. This itinerary has been designed to enable guests to visit these must-see destinations at a much quieter time of year, departing 26 February 2027.
