Welcome to P&O Cruises.

When P&O Cruises offered their first cruise holidays programme in 1904 who would have thought it would become the biggest of the UK based cruise lines. They are run from Southampton under the Complete Cruise Solution banner along with their subsidiary Ocean Village, Cunard and Princess Cruises. Complete Cruise Solution is itself owned and run by the Carnival Corporation the American company responsible for the largest collection of cruise ships and cruises in the world. P&O no longer has anything to do with the ferry company formally known as P&O Stena Line.

The style of the P&O Cruises Cruise Holidays is traditional as opposed to the more relaxed American style which is prevalent throughout the world of cruises. Most people associate P&O as an upmarket cruise line, however according to the Berlitz guide they are a four star cruise, which is the most common among cruise lines. One thing that is apparent is that many people who cruise with P&O Cruises return as future cruise holidays customers.

Currently P&O have six ships; this rose from five in the spring of 2008 when Ventura a new 116,000 ton ship joined the fleet. The other ships are Arcadia, Artemis (both Child Free), Aurora, Oceana and Oriana.

P&O offer a full range of cruise holidays, from short two night cruises to world cruises running into many months. So whatever time limit you have, there are always cheap cruises that will suite you.
