An update on our fleet… We’re planning to take delivery of Iona before the autumn and have confirmed delivery of her sister ship in December 2022. Iona will be the first British cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG)
Today’s the day! Britannia is here and will be setting sail this evening. Don’t forget to share your

A proud moment in P&O Cruises history: the Meyer Werft shipyard has officially handed over our spectacular new ship, Iona.

All the stars are shining on Iona today!
We’re thrilled to have Gary Barlow, Music Director of The 710 Club on Iona in the house to get the party started. Let’s see what he thinks of the day so far and our new superstar Iona. We'd love to hear your thoughts too!

Sadly Oceana will leave P&O Cruises this month. We will miss Oceana but our focus will be on our remaining ships as well as Iona and then her sister ship. We are so sorry for the disappointment to those who have a holiday booked on Oceana and hope we can offer an alternative.
As Britain’s favourite cruise line, your loyalty, advocacy and support has always meant the world to us. P&O Cruises has been part of Carnival Corporation & plc for over 20 years and has no connection to P&O Ferries... 1/2
What a glorious sight! As Iona makes her way to Southampton, we’re by her side to bring you all the action. She’s looking magnificent, don’t you think?🚢👍
#Ionaishere
We are sorry to announce that summer 2021 cruises have been cancelled in response to the current restrictions on international travel. But there is something closer to home to look forward to. We’ll be offering a series of short UK holidays this summer. Look out for more details.
Five, four, three, two, one… Hurrah! It’s official! Our beautiful new ship Iona has been named with a traditional bottle smash and a magnificent Nebuchadnezzar of Britpop cider. What better way to round off an amazing day of celebrations! 🍾🎉

P&O Cruises and its staff both ashore and at sea express deep regret at the news of the death of Her Majesty The Queen. Her Majesty will forever be remembered at P&O Cruises not least for the fact that she named two of the company’s ships, Oriana and Britannia. God Save the King.
Tonight, we were incredibly proud to watch Arvia set sail for her first season in the Caribbean. With her retractable SkyDome, swim-up bar and infinity pools, she truly is the perfect ship to explore the wonders of the region.
We are delighted to reveal that the newest member of the P&O Cruises fleet will be called Arvia, meaning “from the seashore.”
Arvia is set to join the fleet in December 2022. Keep an eye out as holidays go on sale next month.

At last! We’re thrilled to tell you that all of our ships are now sailing again. Arcadia completes the fleet today sailing out of Southampton on her way to Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands. We’re delighted to be back and hope to welcome you on board very soon.
The wait is over; she’s finally arrived! 🚢
We’re thrilled to have welcomed Arvia, our amazing new ship, into port in Southampton. All gleaming and raring to go, she looks simply stunning.
A day we will ‘Never Forget’ 🎶
We were so excited to see the UK premiere of Greatest Days on Arvia!
@GaryBarlow
, the Headliners Theatre Company cast and more were all there to celebrate – what a show! 👏
