“biggest agent event in recent years”. P&O Cruises vice-president of
sales and marketing, Alex Delamere-

experience is critical to frontline agents, so with every booking counting towards an opportunity to win a place at this event, there has never been a better time for agents to be selling a P&O Cruises holiday. “Despite a number of headwinds,
2019 was another hugely successful year for P&O Cruises.”
