One new ship, two new itineraries and six new ports in 2010 for P&O Cruises

A new large ship for the British market, free child places and two new round Britain cruises featuring several destination ‘firsts’ are just a few highlights of the new 2010 programme from P&O Cruises.

Details are contained within the 2010 preview brochure, which features a total of 153 cruise holidays between March 2010 and March 2011, visiting 210 destinations.

April 2010 will see the entering into service of Azura, who’s maiden season will feature cruises to the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Norwegian Fjords, the Canary Islands and the Caribbean. ‘For Azura we’ve gone back to the future,’ said managing director Nigel Esdale. ‘We’re looking back at how travelling at sea really should be; sophisticated, relaxing, indulgent and exciting, whilst we are also looking forward at the same time with some cutting edge innovations and onboard firsts for P&O Cruises – including an outdoor cinematic experience, an exclusive al fresco spa retreat and single cabins.’

New ports of call in the brochure are Newcastle, Stornoway, Milford Haven and Belfast – featuring on one of the two round Britain cruises; Oriana departing Southampton 30 June 2010 and Artemis on 16 August 2010. Also visited for the first time by P&O Cruises in 2010 is Trabzon in Turkey and Greencastle in Ireland. Sphere: Related Content
