Arcadia was the fleet's first adults-only liner, followed by Adonia (now Azamara Pursuit), Oriana and Aurora (April 2000). Arcadia and Aurora are our two ships that are exclusively for adults. Overall, though, Iona is an impressive ship, packed with quality entertainment and likely to be a huge hit with younger cruisers looking for nightlife, good food and affordable entry-level pricing. Ventura has a unique 14-night Atlantic Coast cruise which calls into the Spanish city of El Ferrol, which sits within the path of totality.
Rome and Iceland feature on 2026 itineraries
In the evening, choose from numerous bars and lounges, a casino, comedy acts and other specialty shows, theme nights and more. Iona is the biggest cruise ship ever built for the UK market, packed with entertainment venues and more than 30 places to eat and drink. With a capacity of 5,200 passengers, the ship has the feel of a lively but classy floating resort. Aurora offers 21-night Central Mediterranean and 24-night Eastern Mediterranean cruises, including a return to La Goulette, (Tunisia) and Athens (Piraeus).

Food on Iona Offers Plenty of Variety, But Not Everything Works
From the buzzing cities of Shanghai and San Francisco, to the great outdoors of Barbados and New Zealand’s Bay of Islands, there’s something new to discover every day. Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Azura and Ventura are our family-friendly ships. Each one is packed with a huge variety of dining, entertainment, activities and relaxation options for all ages.

The SkyDome is another 'wow' moment at first sight and a first for P&O Cruises, too. An enormous glass dome covers a double-height space on Decks 16 and 17, which serves as a pool, drinking and dining venue by day and a dramatic entertainment space in the evenings. Other intriguing features making their debut include a boutique, four-screen cinema, an intimate nightclub masterminded by Take That frontman Gary Barlow and the first gin distillery at sea.
USA And Canada Cruise Holidays
The line is also offering a 10% early bird discount and a 10% deposit offer on all cruises booked by June 4, 2024 and departing between March 20, 2026 and October 31, 2026. (2026) 21-night Central Mediterranean itinerary highlights Croatia with departures on June 5, 2026. P&O Australia canceled all departures between March 14, 2020, and May 31, 2022. P&O Australia resumed operations in 2022 with the ships Pacific EXPLORER (May 31/from Sydney), Pacific ENCOUNTER (Aug 27/from Brisbane), Pacific ADVENTURE (October 22/from Sydney). After providing P&O cruise company with the personal data needed on the Personaliser (and also with additional info if asked for more details), this database is used for updating pre-cruise information. IMPORTANT - Each of the same-booking passengers is able to access the info about you and the other, i.e. you can update and provide information of all other passengers in your booking, and they can change your information.
Northern Europe & Scandinavia Cruise Holidays
The app is an addition to the My Holiday (Reception Desk) which provides 24-hour assistance, including booking and how to use the application. Our family-friendly ships all include children’s clubs with zones for different age groups. And if you look in more detail, you’ll notice the individual features that each ship has. For example, Arvia has an outdoor activity zone, Arcadia has Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill and Britannia has the buzzing Live Lounge venue. Prices shown reflect the lowest price available for each cruise, are per person based on two adults sharing the lowest grade of cabin available within the applicable cabin type and are subject to availability.
Arvia has a top deck mini golf and high-ropes course and swim-up bar -- firsts for P&O Cruises. The popularity of these amenities, however, has introduced some congestion to the top deck's wake pool area which tends to get crowded early on in the day. Thankfully the roof above its Sky Dome has been designed to retract, giving top decks an extra outdoor swimming pool.
Mediterranean Cruise Holidays
They can also see INTO the cabin which means that you need to close curtains every time you require privacy. Beautiful Sydney, exciting Hong Kong, buzzing Dubai or fascinating Petra (from Aqaba). From a simple space to lay your head, to something a little more luxurious, there’s a range of accommodation on our ships to suit everyone’s individual needs. Along with a comfy bed, ample wardrobe space and an en-suite bathroom, all cabins come with a little magic in the form of your own cabin steward (and butler in Suites), to keep everything ship shape. And of course, you’ll have essentials such as a kettle and a stock of tea, coffee and biscuits which is replenished daily.
P&O Cruises Australia injects $29M into Western Australia's economy
Then, P&O Princess Cruises was created- a new company independent of P&O; consisting of AIDA Cruises, Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises Australia, P&O Cruises (UK), and later "Ocean Village" and A-Rosa Cruises (riverboats). Three of the vessels are designed with gross tonnage 133,500 tons, LOA length is 323 m (1060 ft) and capacity 4000 passengers plus 1450 crew (2 are for Costa Asia, 1 for P&O AU). One ship with GT 143,700 tons and capacity 3560 passengers is for Princess. Both Costa ships are exclusively for the booming Chinese market. Each vessel is powered by two MAN diesel engines (model 14V48 / 60CR) plus three MAN diesel engines (medium-speed, model 8L48 / 60CR), providing total power output 62,400 kW.
Azura continuing to operate fly-cruise options in 2026, a mixture of Western, Central and Eastern Mediterranean itineraries will depart from Malta every Thursday, with options for both seven- and 14-night holidays. There will be more than 20 seven-night Mediterranean holidays departing Southampton throughout the season across most of the fleet. Citing the COVID crisis' impact on the passenger shipping industry, in early-July 2020, P&O UK sold the cruise ship Oceana.
There's a frustrating adherence to exactly what’s on the bar menus, so you can't, for example, get a martini in the Crow's Nest; you can only order from the fixed menu. There's no turndown in the cabins anymore (suspened during Covid, but never re-instated), which feels odd for anybody who enjoys the sense of luxury a cruise brings. The Wi-Fi is also extremely expensive, at £140 for a week of unlimited use for just one device.
Iona’s Conservatory Mini-Suites offer a soothing space featuring a deeper balcony with a glass-enclosed sitting area. One of the perks of this room type is it allows passengers to open the area up to create a bigger outdoor space or close it off from the main cabin. This function is handy if you're travelling with a young child and you want to continue your evening after you've put them to bed.
The 1,910-passenger Aurora joins Arcadia and Oriana as the line's third child-free ship, though the latter will leave the fleet in August 2019. Arcadia’s Iceland & British Isles cruise from Southampton on August 5, 2026, which calls into Isafjördur, Northwest Iceland (weather permitting), and also offers the chance to witness the eclipse. In October 2022, P&O UK announced new "Scandinavia and Baltic Sea" itineraries debuting in 2024 summer, all of which are roundtrips from Southampton.
