P&O Cruises lines up ex-UK Britannia sailings in 2027-28
Ella Sagar
P&O Cruises has launched its winter 2027 and spring 2028 itineraries, with highlights including calls in cities in East
Asia such as Nagasaki and Tokyo. Britannia will be based in
Southampton year-round for the first time since its launch in 2015. The line’s flagship will sail
cruises taking in the Atlantic islands,
Caribbean and Mediterranean. Iona will join sister ship Arvia in
the Caribbean, where it will offer 14-night fly-cruise holidays with departures from Barbados, Antigua
and, new for the season, St Kitts. Azura will operate Canary
Islands fly-cruises, which include calls in Madeira and Morocco,
throughout the season. Ventura will sail new seven-night
Scandinavia cruises, including a New Year’s Eve celebration in
Southampton. Arcadia and Aurora will offer
a mix of itineraries to Norway’s North Cape, the Baltic region and western Europe. Some of the cruises will welcome children, while many will continue
124Length in days of Arcadia’s longest-ever itinerary
to be exclusively for adults. Arcadia will also sail a
124-night world cruise – the
line’s longest-ever itinerary. Aurora will also sail a 75-night
Grand Tour round-trip from Southampton in 2028, with ports of call in Brazil and Chile. A 14-night fly-cruise to the
Caribbean on board Iona starts at £1,499 for an inside cabin, departing on December 10, 2027. Bookings made by December 17 include a 10% discount and low deposit on Select and Early Saver fares, while third and fourth passengers sharing the same cabin sail for free on certain ex-Southampton off-peak cruises. A 20% discount on Classic
drinks packages – with an additional 5% for Peninsular Club loyalty members – is also available on selected cruises.

Onboard spend really adds value to the cruise as guests may use this towards immersive shore experiences, spa treatments, premium wine packages and more!
While we know times may sometimes feel
challenging, consumer research tells us that for the luxury audience, travel and authentic experiences are still very important, and consumers are looking to fulfil their bucket-list holidays with ‘trusted brands’ – and to use experienced and reliable travel specialists, which is where you come in! These guests are still looking for value, though, so make sure your clients know about the special offers that can enhance their holiday.
