P&O Cruises

P&O Cruises was originally the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation company and its long history in both commercial and holiday travel has given it an unmatched pedigree in ocean travel

In April 2004 P&O Princess plc, the parent company of P&O Cruises, joined the Carnival Corporation, bringing together two of the best known companies in the cruise industry, meaning P&O Cruises is now part of one of the world’s largest holiday companies. P&O Cruises have three very different types of cruise experience. There's the contemporary and innovative style of holiday offered by cruises on the Arcadia and Oceana. A more unique and original cruise experience can be found on the Aurora and Oriana, with a more traditional cruise being provided by the Artemis. P&O has different sailings which offer either child-friendly or child-free ships, which means passengers can either holiday as a family or relax in a child-free environment, while still enjoying the signature P&O expertise and long history of customer service.

Arcadia

What makes Arcadia special? Well she’s an over eighteens ship only – which means no children’s facilities and no children! As a result, everything on board is geared to a child-free passenger, no early meals, no babysitting, no kiddies games at poolside.
