Whether it’s a family holiday, a getaway with friends, or simply an excuse to spend more time together, P&O Cruises makes it easy to see several places in one trip. With itineraries taking in Spain, France, Portugal, and the Norwegian fjords, you can go from sunny waterfront cities to some of Norway’s most impressive scenery, while returning to the same ship at the end of every day. And, with on-board spending money available on selected Select Price holidays, there’s a little more freedom to make your time at sea your own.
A little extra to spend your way
Book an applicable P&O Cruises Select Price holiday with a Travel Counsellor, and you could receive on-board spending money to use throughout your cruise. An amount of £350 per cabin is based on two adults sharing a Balcony cabin on selected 14-night cruises departing after April 2027, with the amount varying depending on cabin type, cruise duration, and departure date. It can be put towards plenty of holiday extras on board, from drinks at the bar and speciality restaurants to spa treatments, internet packages, shopping, and shore experiences booked during your cruise. The offer applies to new Select Price bookings made by 17th December 2026 on selected cabin grades and applicable departures between 6th March 2026 and 30th March 2028, so there’s plenty of choice when it comes to finding the right sailing.
Spain, France, and easy-going Mediterranean days
A Spain and France sailing is a great way to fit several different stops into one holiday without repeatedly packing and unpacking. Depending on the itinerary, you could spend time around the cafés, shops, and beaches of northern Spain, explore historic port cities, or head into the French countryside from the coast. P&O Cruises also offers Spain and Portugal itineraries, opening up the chance to pair Spanish ports with time in Portugal, where Lisbon’s tiled streets, Belém waterfront, and famous pastéis de nata make for a very different day ashore. Back on board, everyone can regroup for dinner, entertainment, and drinks, which makes cruising particularly easy when you’re travelling as a larger group.
See another side of summer in the Norwegian fjords
For families or groups who would rather trade Mediterranean heat for dramatic scenery, a Norwegian Fjords cruise takes summer in a completely different direction. P&O Cruises itineraries in the region can bring you close to steep-sided fjords, waterfalls, small waterfront towns, and some of Norway’s best-known landscapes, with days ashore offering everything from scenic viewpoints and boat trips to walking routes. It’s a strong option for multi-generational holidays too: everyone can experience the scenery together, while choosing how active they want each port day to be.

A group of Travel Counsellors recently headed to Alaska with Norwegian Cruise Line, setting off from Seattle aboard Norwegian Bliss. The trip gave the group a chance to experience the ship and its ports first-hand, picking up ideas and insights to share with customers planning their own cruise. And with Alaska on the bucket list for so many, there was plenty to look forward to once the ship left Seattle behind.
Some holidays are about fitting in as much as possible. Others give you the luxury of taking your time. A voyage along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France with Cunard offers a little of both: days spent discovering great food, architecture, and historic cities ashore, balanced by unhurried time on board as the scenery changes beyond the ship. In 2027, consider a seven-night voyage from Southampton aboard Queen Anne. You can wake up ready to explore Bilbao, spend the following days discovering Galicia, and finish with a taste of Normandy, without changing hotels or repacking along the way. Two days at sea create a natural pause between these stops, giving you time to enjoy the ship rather than simply moving from one destination to the next.
Cunard’s new voyages for October 2028 to May 2029 bring together winter sun, European city stays, and far-reaching journeys across the world. Guests can mark a milestone at sea on Queen Mary 2, spend an evening in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival with Queen Anne, or join Queen Elizabeth for a 115-night World Voyage. There’s also a 10% Early Booking Saving on eligible bookings made by 30th December 2026.*
