Our #ShineSurprises was a midsummer night’s dream
They say time flies when you’re having fun and that must be true because who can believe we’re halfway through the year? June was packed full of exciting news which we can’t wait to tell you about. We hosted 50 #ShineSurprises winners at our VIP Astonishing
event, on board the brilliant Britannia. The event was produced by Bafta-winning presenter and entertainer Stephen Mulhern and performer Jonathan Wilkes. We were thrilled to have them with us on the day, as well as some of their celeb friends – including Dec Donnelly and Ben Shephard who were on board to see the show. Guests were treated to a drinks reception in Britannia’s stunning Crystal room, before watching the revolutionary new show in the Headliners Theatre. If you want to see a taste of the show for yourself, check out our agent Facebook page for a sneak peak of the day! Talking of Facebook, June also saw the return of our very popular Facebook Live!, hosted by Jenny Lyons and Steph Adams. We’re excited to announce that we’ll be hosting these now on the last Wednesday of EVERY month. They’re the perfect way to keep up to date with P&O Cruises, Shine Rewards Club and, of course, our new ship Iona, while winning Shine points, and asking us your burning questions. To tune in, make sure you visit
