P&O 2011 Cruises brochure details now released...

It is that time of the year again, P&O Cruises has released details of the 2011 / 2012 cruise programme. Here is a breif taster of what is happening but you can find the full details online by "clicking here".

·         P&O CRUISES 2011/12 EUROPE, MEDITERRANEAN and CARIBBEAN PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

ADONIA

Adonia  joins P&O Cruises for her maiden season in 2011 and offers a small ship experience, which is perfect for those who enjoy the unique camaraderie that a ship of this size can foster (she carries just 710 passengers). It also means that she affords travellers the chance to visit a collection of destinations not accessible to large ships, including a number of brand new ports of call (Adonia’s itineraries feature the majority of our 9 brand new ports, as well as the 20 ports that we haven’t visited for quite some time). In the Autumn she will operate a number of Mediterranean fly-cruises sailing to the Central and Eastern Mediterranean including a Christmas and New Year fly cruise to the Holy Land.

P&O CRUISES OFFERS CHOICE

P&O Cruises offers the greatest choice of ex-UK cruises of any other brand with more cruises, more ports of call, more choice of ships and more holiday durations.  Passengers will have more choice than ever before with 156 cruises sailing in 2011 and spring 2012.  In total there are 270 ports in 90 countries with the option to fly-cruise in the Caribbean and Mediterranean or to sail out of Southampton.

VENTURA AND AZURA

Ventura and Azura will be offering Caribbean fly-cruising in the winter months but, unlike previous years, Oceana’s winter cruising will offer a mix of longer Caribbean and Eastern Mediterranean cruises sailing from Southampton, as well as Canary Island and Western Mediterranean cruises.
