Early 2018 launch for cruise operator
P&O Cruises has launched its 2018 holiday collection earlier than in previous years and with lower deposits.
Early bookers get 5% off, past guests receive a 10% discount, while summer 2018 holidays can be secured with a 5% deposit, its lowest deposit so far.
The programme has more school holiday cruises and maiden calls at seven new ports and all selected cruises have been included in P&O’s current ‘180 competition’ where agents can win prizes such as at West End show with dinner, or a day at the races and shopping vouchers when they make a booking.
P&O Cruises senior vice president Paul Ludlow said: "Due to overwhelming customer demand, this is the earliest we’ve ever launched our summer holiday collection.
"Perfect for those who like to book early, in particular families, guests can now plan their holiday up to two years in advance."
