P&O Cruises Shops & Services
P&O Cruises wouldn’t be where they are today, Britain’s favourite cruiseline, if it wasn’t for their onboard team. Regardless of how impressive the ships are, if they didn’t have the high levels of service that they do on board, their passengers wouldn’t come back, but they do.

Time is invested in carefully selected staff. Before they step on board, they are inducted into P&O Cruises through a comprehensive on shore training programme. Once on board the training continues with On Board Trainers visiting each ship for up to a month at a time.

You will find a passenger to staff ratio of 2:1 on board equalling an intuitive, but unobtrusive service at all times. From British Officers to skilled galley staff, all are completely professional and nothing is ever too much trouble.

An eye for detail
With so many companies offering cruising holidays, what makes P&O Cruises a cut above the rest? Maybe it’s because they think the little things are just as important as the big ones:

  • Creating a dedicated welcome pack for children
  • Providing personal in cabin pamper treats
  • Ensuring your glass is never empty at dinner
  • Producing a daily ship’s newspaper with the latest headlining stories
  • Stewards who remember your favourite drink
  • Turning your bed down every evening

When you combine these with other unique touches you will agree P&O Cruises' service is second to none.

Making life easy
Working tirelessly to attend to your needs before you even realise you have them. From arrival to departure, they have developed features that will help make your holiday as relaxing as possible. These include such things as a quicker check in process so that you're not kept waiting, to Balcony Dining so you can enjoy the ship's fine cuisine from the comfort of your own cabin. You may not even notice other features. This is deliberate – they are not there to be seen, just enjoyed.

An elevated holiday experience
P&O Cruises are in the midst of a 13 million pound 'Elevation’ project, our commitment to raising our standards even higher. A selection of the refinements and initiatives you will experience on your holiday include:

  • Cabins - New Slumberland eight-inch deep 'Gold Seal' posture sprung mattress and luxury pamper packs
  • Dining – Marco Pierre White and Gary Rhodes restaurants, Balcony Dining and enhanced children' teas
  • Entertainment – Noddy and Mr. Bump from the Mr. Men Show, more celebrity speakers and live Premier football

When you combine these with other unique touches we hope that you will agree the P&O Cruises service is second to none.
