Claire from our Bodmin branch toured P&O Cruises’ Britannia, here’s her take:
A Taste of Life at Sea from Southampton
“I recently had the opportunity to attend the CLIA 2025 Conference in Southampton, where I explored one of P&O’s most beloved ships Britannia. While this wasn’t a full sailing, the ship visit gave me a fantastic insight into what life on board is like. And let me tell you, it’s packed with surprises!
First Impressions: Britannia’s Grand Welcome
From the moment I stepped aboard, Britannia made an impression. This beautiful ship strikes the perfect balance between contemporary style and classic cruise elegance. Whether you’re sailing with family, as a couple, or solo, it offers plenty of space, style, and options for all ages.
Entertainment & Activities for All Ages
There is so much to do on board! From sunny poolside lounging to exciting live evening shows and interactive trivia games, Britannia offers a mix of fun and relaxation. Whether you’re looking to be entertained or just unwind with a drink in hand, there’s a venue (or two!) for you.
Need a bit of pampering? Head to the onboard spa, where a wide range of treatments help you relax and recharge. There are even adult-only pool areas, offering quiet retreats for those looking for a peaceful day at sea.
Dining Delights: Something for Everyone
One of the highlights was the incredible variety of food on board. Whether you’re after fine dining, a family-friendly buffet, or a snack between activities, Britannia delivers. There’s something to suit every palate and dietary preference, and the quality is exactly what you’d expect from a P&O cruise.
Final Thoughts: A Fantastic Family-Friendly Cruise
From the elegant interiors to the sheer range of activities and dining, Britannia is a ship that truly offers something for everyone. I left with a full heart and even fuller inspiration and I can’t wait to help future travellers experience it for themselves.
If you’re dreaming of a cruise that combines comfort, fun, relaxation, and top-tier service P&O Britannia is one to seriously consider!
