About P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises is Britain’s favourite cruise line, and is based in Southampton – a great option for a roundtrip cruise. When you board a P&O Cruises ship in Southampton, there are no luggage restrictions, so you can load up on all the essentials like prams, travel cots, bottles, nappies and favourite toys. Alternatively you can opt for a ‘fly-cruise’ where you fly out to meet your cruise ship in the sunshine.
P&O Cruises has five family-friendly ships (Arvia, Azura, Britannia, Iona and Ventura), all featuring children’s clubs and fun facilities such as pools and splash zones, as well as family-friendly entertainment. With over 230 destinations visited worldwide, P&O Cruises holidays are carefully curated to inspire discovery whilst being great value for money.
Mumsnetters rate Arvia and Iona, both of which have a sports arena for active kids, an impressive SkyDome entertainment space and an infinity pool. P&O Cruises sailings to the Norwegian Fjords are particularly popular with families for their incredible views.
From December 2026, P&O Cruises is opening up selected cruises on Arcadia and Aurora to guests of all ages, so the whole family can come together to experience these elegant ships and exciting destinations with their loved ones.
