Pay In Pounds
No need to worry about exchange rates – everything on board is priced in pounds. From drinks to souvenirs, it’s easy to keep track of your holiday spending while onboard a P&O Cruises holiday.
Food & Drinks
You’ll never go hungry on board. From classic British favourites to global flavours, full-board dining is included – think hearty breakfasts, afternoon teas, and varied evening menus.
Speciality Dining
Fancy something a little extra? Try speciality restaurants, such as Epicurean, Keel & Cow, Sindhu, and Green & Co, for a little extra cost.

Choose from Inside, Sea View, Balcony, or Suite options – all designed with comfort in mind. Each space comes with daily housekeeping, tea and coffee facilities, air con, and plenty of storage.
Travelling solo? P&O Cruises offers purpose-built single cabins that come with the same amenities as other accommodations.
Entertainment For All Ages
From dawn to dusk, there’s something for everyone. Watch West End-style shows, try your luck in the casino, or enjoy live performances in the SkyDome and late-night comedy. Kids can watch movies under the stars while grown-ups hit the dancefloor or unwind in a quiet bar.
Plus, with themed cruises, guest speakers, cookery classes with Food Heroes Marco Pierre White, Olly Smith and Jose Pizzaro, and sailaway parties, there’s always something new to try.
Kids Clubs
Fun comes as standard for young cruisers. The Reef is P&O Cruises’ dedicated kids’ club, split into age-specific groups: Splashers (2–4), Surfers (5–8), Scubas (9–12), and H2O (13–17). Each group has its own tailored programme of games, crafts, sports, and movie nights.
Plus, little ones can get stuck into fun Aardman activities featuring Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Open daily and included in your fare, it’s the perfect way to keep kids happy while onboard.
Adults-Only Cruises
For those craving calm, adults-only P&O Cruises are made for you. Step aboard either Aurora or Arcadia, both dedicated to grown-up getaways.
With no kids around, it’s your time to fully relax, recharge, and enjoy adult-focused entertainment. These sailings are ideal for couples, solo travellers, or friends looking to escape the everyday.
