Travelling solo? P&O Cruises offers purpose-built single cabins that come with the same amenities as other accommodations.

Entertainment For All Ages

From dawn to dusk, there’s something for everyone. Watch West End-style shows, try your luck in the casino, or enjoy live performances in the SkyDome and late-night comedy. Kids can watch movies under the stars while grown-ups hit the dancefloor or unwind in a quiet bar.

Plus, with themed cruises, guest speakers, cookery classes with Food Heroes Marco Pierre White, Olly Smith and Jose Pizzaro, and sailaway parties, there’s always something new to try.

Kids Clubs

Fun comes as standard for young cruisers. The Reef is P&O Cruises’ dedicated kids’ club, split into age-specific groups: Splashers (2–4), Surfers (5–8), Scubas (9–12), and H2O (13–17). Each group has its own tailored programme of games, crafts, sports, and movie nights.

Plus, little ones can get stuck into fun Aardman activities featuring Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Open daily and included in your fare, it’s the perfect way to keep kids happy while onboard.

Adults-Only Cruises

For those craving calm, adults-only P&O Cruises are made for you. Step aboard either Aurora or Arcadia, both dedicated to grown-up getaways.

With no kids around, it’s your time to fully relax, recharge, and enjoy adult-focused entertainment. These sailings are ideal for couples, solo travellers, or friends looking to escape the everyday.
