P&O Cruises has announced its forthcoming programme of voyages for the winter 2027 to spring 2028 season, introducing new itineraries, ports of call, and the company’s longest world cruise to date.
Bookings made by December 17th, 2025 will benefit from incentives, including a 10% fare reduction and low deposits for both Select and Early Saver fares. On selected off-peak winter sailings of 6 nights or more departing from Southampton, third and fourth guests sharing the same cabin will travel free of charge. Members of the Peninsular Club will receive an additional 5% discount on selected holidays, and there will be a 20% reduction on Classic drinks packages.
During the season, Iona will operate alongside her sister ship Arvia in the Caribbean, conducting 14-night fly-cruise holidays from Barbados, Antigua, and, newly introduced for the period, St Kitts, between October 2027 and April 2028. Arcadia and Aurora will offer a varied programme, with some sailings open to all ages and others reserved exclusively for adults. Their destinations will include the North Cape, the Baltic, and Western Europe during winter 2028.
In early 2028, Aurora will return to South America for a 75-night Grand Tour featuring ports in Brazil and Chile. Meanwhile, Britannia will, for the first time since her 2015 launch, be based year-round in Southampton, operating itineraries that include the Atlantic Islands, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean.
Throughout the same period, Azura will offer selected fly-cruises to the Canary Islands, incorporating calls at Madeira and Morocco, with visits to ports such as Agadir and Casablanca. Ventura will undertake a new 7-night Scandinavian voyage, celebrating New Year’s Eve 2027 in Southampton before proceeding to Copenhagen, Oslo, and Kristiansand.
A highlight of the collection will be Arcadia’s 2028 World Cruise, lasting 124 nights and ranking among P&O Cruises’ longest. The voyage will include an East Asia segment featuring Japanese ports such as Nagasaki and Tokyo. Across the wider programme, nine ports not visited by the line in at least five years will be revisited, among them Tokyo, San Diego, and Hawaii.
According to Ruth Venn, Associate Vice President of Sales and Distribution at P&O Cruises, the new programme offers travel agents a range of fresh opportunities for promotion and engagement.
Pre-registration for the new itineraries is available from October 14th, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. until October 20th, 2025 at 8:00 p.m., with general sales commencing on October 22nd, 2025.
