P & O Cruises

It is said that P&O Cruises "invented" cruising. In the 1880s the Orient Line and the North of Scotland company, both later to be taken over by P&O Cruises, pioneered modern-style cruises, and in 1904 P&O Cruises offered its first cruise holiday programme, a first class only cruise with shore excursions arranged by Thomas Cook.

P&O Cruises combines innovation, professionalism and unrivalled experience on its fleet of five ships dedicated to the British market. P&O Cruises offers passengers the most stylish and contemporary holidays afloat with destinations including the Caribbean, South America, Scandinavia, Mediterranean, Atlantic islands and round the world cruises.

Ventura, the largest and newest superliner built exclusively for the British market, will sail her first full year programme, with 19 departures from Southampton and 10 fly-cruise holidays from Barbados in 2009.
