Cruiseline doubles ex-UK capacity
P&O Cruises has doubled its ex-UK capacity next year from one ship to two as both Oceana and Oriana will sail from Southampton throughout winter 2012/13 on cruises of two to 35 nights.
Oceana’s second year of winter cruising from Southampton will include, for the first time, two short cruises for Christmas and New Year.
Oriana will offer seven ex-UK cruises including a 10-night Baltic cruise in December calling in popular Christmas market destinations such as Copenhagen and Hamburg and a 12-night Canary Islands cruise in late January to ports including Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Casablanca.
P&O Cruises managing director Carol Marlow, said: “P&O Cruises already offers the greatest choice of ex-UK cruises and next winter will have 39 roundtrip cruises from Southampton from October to April.
"A growing number of people are keen to holiday in the winter, but don’t necessarily want to fly, so this additional range of cruises from Southampton will increase their options sill further."
P&O will also offer four winter world cruises from January to April 2012, from and to Southampton, including Azura’s maiden world cruise.
