Cruise line P&O Cruises has launched its biggest-ever summer programme, offering 8% more capacity with an increased number of sailings.
Summer 2026 was the line’s previous largest summer programme.
The 2028 collection includes 215 sailings across its fleet of seven ships, and an expanded selection of Norwegian fjords itineraries that have 36 weekend departures, including Fridays, from May to September 2028.
The programme features 121 destinations in 29 countries between March and October 2028 with 64 overnight calls and 69 late-evening departures.
The collection includes short breaks, Mediterranean fly-cruises, holidays to the British Isles, the Canary Islands, Northern Europe and Scandinavia, as well as longer 30-night itineraries to the US and Canada.
Highlights are Arvia’s new 14-night cruise, sailing out of Southampton, combining visits to three countries including Spain, France and Norway for the fjords.
Arcadia and Aurora will continue to offer adults-only holidays to Norway and Iceland, Northern Europe and Scandinavia, and multi-generational holidays from three to 21 nights on selected dates.
Aurora’s 21-night ‘Arctic Escape to Iceland and the North Cape’ in August 2028 features an overnight stay in Reykjavik, while an overnight in Livorno on an Azura cruise will give passengers the opportunity to visit Florence or Pisa.
Guests on board selected Britannia and Ventura sailings will have the opportunity to visit the Colosseum and sights of Rome when the ships dock at Civitavecchia. This will be the first time since 2019 that either ship has docked at the Italian port.
The cruise line is offering 10% early-bird discount and 10% deposit on Select Price and Early Saver holidays, with an extra 5% discount for Peninsular Club loyalty members on selected holidays.
Additional guests in the same cabin sail from £49 per person, and this applies to third and fourth guests sharing a cabin on selected summer 2028 off-peak cruises sailing from and to Southampton for seven nights or more.
