March was an incredible month for us here at P&O Cruises; we announced six regional roadshows, appointed our new trade engagement and onboard sales director and treated 5 lucky travel agents to a #ShineSurprises night they won’t forget. And this is all on top of coming out of a record breaking Wave... who can believe we’re only just into the fourth month of the year...
Our regional roadshows, announced in early March
placement at a five-star golf resort in South Carolina. “To apply for the internship, I initially had to write an essay on the impact of Brexit on British holidaymakers, and then spent the day in London for my interview. I found out I had got it the next day and I was over the moon and couldn’t stop smiling.” She added: “I want to move into marketing as a career, so
I’m hoping I’ll be able to get some experience within that department during my internship. I can’t wait to get started.” Abta has 11 partner universities: Bournemouth, Cardiff Metropolitan, Derby, Hertfordshire, Leeds Beckett, London South Bank, Manchester Metropolitan, Plymouth, Surrey, UWTSD (University of Wales Trinity St David) and Wolverhampton.
