P&O Cruises One of Britain’s most iconic cruise lines thanks in part to its union flag livery, P&O Cruises is undergoing a transformation. The line aims to attract more families and younger couples with larger, more modern ships. Part of the Carnival Corporation, P&O offers sailings primarily from Southampton, with some fly-cruises to the Caribbean.
The line’s guest base remains largely British. International travelers are welcome, but may find it easier to book with a travel agent. The fleet includes a variety of ships, from smaller, more traditional adult-only vessels to action-packed ships like Arvia , Britain’s largest cruise ship .
Arvia boasts a retractable-roof pool, a rooftop rope course, and an immersive escape room experience, blending contemporary family-friendly features with classic P&O traditions like formal nights. Dining options range from traditional fixed dining to flexible, app-based reserva.
