P&O Cruises, founded in 1844, is the world’s oldest cruise line, originally linking England to Iberia. Over the years, their voyages have included destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta, and Athens from their home port of Southampton. Today, more than 175 years later, P&O Cruises continues to offer exceptional cruise holidays worldwide, combining the very best of British hospitality with classic cruising traditions.
Onboard a P&O cruise, you’ll experience everything from live bands at the quayside and traditional afternoon tea to glamorous formal evenings and exquisite dining. Each of their seven ships features inviting pools and spacious teak decks for sunbathing. Well-stocked libraries offer quiet entertainment, while luxury shops provide the perfect retail experience. Relax in elegant lounges and bars or enjoy specialty dining at venues designed by celebrity chefs Marco Pierre White and Michelin-starred Atul Kochhar.
