P&O Cruises boasts a diverse fleet, each offering a unique experience. Whether you’re after a family adventure, an adults-only escape, or a luxury getaway, there’s a ship that will make your dream cruise a reality.

Iona – The Ultimate Family-Friendly Adventure

One of the newest and most innovative ships in the fleet, Iona is a floating paradise. As P&O’s first ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), Iona is at the forefront of sustainable cruising. She offers breathtaking Norwegian Fjords itineraries, stunning entertainment venues, and the SkyDome, an incredible glass-roofed space perfect for dining and relaxation.

Arvia – Sunshine and Caribbean Dreams

Arvia, Iona’s sister ship, is designed for sun-seekers and adventure lovers. With itineraries across the Caribbean and Mediterranean, this ship is built for year-round sunshine. Arvia features an onboard escape room, an exclusive swim-up bar, and the largest outdoor adventure zone in the P&O fleet, making her a top choice for families and thrill-seekers alike.

Britannia – Modern Elegance at Sea

As P&O’s flagship, Britannia exudes style, sophistication, and contemporary luxury. With a mix of Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Canary Islands cruises, this ship offers everything from high-end dining (including menus curated by Marco Pierre White) to Britain’s largest floating spa. If you love modern design and impeccable service, Britannia is for you.

Ventura – A Family Favourite

With fantastic kids’ clubs, pools, and lively entertainment, Ventura is a top choice for families.
