P&O Cruises: A Legacy of British Excellence at Sea

As your trusted luxury travel advisors, we seek partners who offer not just a holiday, but an exceptional experience steeped in quality and heritage. That's why we are proud to recommend P&O Cruises, a cruise line with an unparalleled British legacy and a commitment to excellence that resonates with discerning travellers.

A Voyage Through History

P&O Cruises' story is woven into the fabric of British maritime history. Its origins date back to 1st September 1837, when founders Arthur Anderson and Brodie McGhie Wilcox secured a vital contract from the British Government. Their Peninsular Steam Navigation Company began by carrying mail – and soon, passengers – between London and the Iberian Peninsula, marking the start of a remarkable journey.

Intriguingly, the very idea of leisure cruising may have predated the company itself. It's believed that co-founder Arthur Anderson first conceived of deep-sea pleasure voyages in 1835, placing a speculative advertisement for a 'mythical' cruise in his own newspaper. This early vision hinted at the future of travel.

As the company grew, securing more routes and venturing further afield, Anderson's imaginative concept became a reality. P&O began offering round-trip tickets to alluring destinations along their routes, including Malta, Athens, and Egypt. This innovative offering captured the public's imagination, effectively launching the phenomenon of leisure cruising we know today.

Setting the Standard, Then and Now

From these pioneering days, P&O Cruises has built a reputation founded on core principles: unwavering quality, exceptional service, reliability, supreme comfort, and rigorous safety standards. They didn't just witness the evolution of cruising; they actively shaped it.

This dedication to setting the standard continues today. P&O Cruises embraces innovation, ensuring they remain at the forefront of the cruise holiday experience. Their forward-looking approach means modern amenities, diverse itineraries, and contemporary comforts blend seamlessly with their rich heritage.
