Britannia Ahoy!
I was so excited to get on board and have a look round this brand new ship as it was the first P&O cruise ship I had been on. I wasn’t disappointed. I would like to thank P&O for their fabulous hospitality.
Britannia's interior was designed by world winning hotel designers to create a wow! The centre piece of the Atrium is a stunning Starburst chandelier with chards of mirror and glass bursting downwards from the ceiling, this creates a beautiful focal point.
Whilst on board I had the chance to wander around the ship at leisure. There really is something for everybody on this ship!
Food was a hugely important feature of the Britannia experience. Britannia offers three signature restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner daily. There's also plenty of other eateries to tempt you though from “Grab & Go” outlets and relaxed buffet dining around the clock to speciality restaurants with our famous food heroes.
Brittania have lined up a host of celebrity chefs who will be on a number of Britannia’s sailings throughout the year running cookery masterclasses in The Cookery Club, followed by an opportunity for you to chat with the chefs as you enjoy the results of your hard work. This is most definitely a wow experience for cooking enthusiasts.
I'm just going to tell you about some of the entertainment on board in the evening. Headliners theatre introduces a new era of on board entertainment. With its stunning LED backdrop, her theatre offers dynamic shows and the slickest of production values.
The Crystal Room hosts glittering evening balls and a range of entertainment from live bands and singers in the evening to dance lessons from experts during the day. And The Limelight Club a first for P&O Cruises, is an adults only venue that combines great food with dazzling entertainment – a feast for all the senses!
The Oasis spa on board really put the aah in spa. Think of the most opulent and luxurious spas you’ve ever seen – the ones with sumptuous dark wood and the aroma of scented oils – and you’re imagining Britannia’s Oasis Spa. The Spa boasts some brand new industry leading features such as Oasis Villa – a treatment room for couples or groups, a salt therapy caldarium and a hydrotherapy suite with heated lounges and pool with reflexology, massaging jets and air recliners.
All Britannia's boutique style cabins are more stylish and comfortable than ever. With soothing colour's, bespoke artworks from British artists and a large flatscreen TVs for films on demand. All outside rooms feature balconies – a first for a P&O Cruises ship.
I was really impressed with the children’s facilities I saw on board. The free on board programme for 2–17 year olds is called The Reef its split into four age groups, there are a whole host of exciting activities organised daily by our enthusiastic and well qualified Reef Rangers, to keep children of all ages entertained safely throughout the day and evening.They really wouldn’t be bored and you would struggle to get them out! I’m sure my 11 and 8 year olds would have a ball and make lots of friends.
I haven’t covered half of what is on board, I hope to go back on Britannia again with my family at some point to share this experience with them.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to holiday on Britannia, I’m sure I can help.
