P&O Cruises launches its summer 2028 sailings

17 April 2026

The highly anticipated Summer 2028 programme from P&O Cruises has officially launched, presenting an exceptional mix of itineraries running from March through to October, with departures from Southampton and beyond. This launch is all about flexibility, with shorter breaks, longer journeys, and more varied routing designed to suit different travel styles.

P&O Cruises launches its summer 2028 sailings

Caribbean sunshine with time to slow down

For a warm-weather escape, one of the standout options comes from P&O’s new Caribbean sailings, which sit among the top-tier launches for early access. Expect stops across islands such as Barbados, Antigua, and Saint Lucia, where you can spend time on Carlisle Bay’s calm shoreline, walk through Nelson’s Dockyard, or take in the Pitons rising above Soufrière. These itineraries are built for balance, giving you beach time, local food spots, and relaxed port days without needing to rush from place to place.

Mediterranean fly-cruises with more time in port

P&O Azura’s fly-cruise programme is not to be missed, especially with the addition of overnight stays in Livorno, Italy. That extra time opens up the amount of time you would have to visit locations like Florence, where you can step inside the Duomo or see Michelangelo’s David, and Pisa, where the Leaning Tower is a must-see. Combined with other Mediterranean calls, this style of itinerary gives you longer, more meaningful time ashore, rather than quick stop-offs.

Northern Europe city breaks done differently

Britannia’s new seven-night Scandinavia cruise breaks offer a fresh take on shorter sailings. With an overnight in Copenhagen, you can explore Tivoli Gardens after dark or settle into a canal-side restaurant in Nyhavn, while Oslo adds a mix of modern waterfront spaces and museums like the Fram Museum. It’s a straightforward way to experience a few cities in one trip, with enough time in each to make it worthwhile.

A longer journey that goes beyond the usual routes

For something less typical, P&O Aurora’s new 24-night itinerary linking the Canary Islands, Morocco, Cape Verde, and the Mediterranean really stands out. You could be walking through Lisbon’s Belém district one week, exploring the markets of Casablanca the next, then heading further south to Cape Verde’s volcanic landscapes. It’s a route that covers a lot of ground, but still feels connected, making it a strong choice if you want one trip that covers several very different places.

Beyond the magic: Why a Disney cruise is the perfect holiday for every generation

01 September 2026

When you think of a Disney cruise, you might expect a holiday designed first and foremost for children. So, when Head Office colleague Steve Hawker booked a cruise on Disney Dream for his three young children, he expected them to have the holiday of a lifetime. What he didn't expect was that the rest of the family would be just as enchanted. Travelling as a group of 13 across three generations, the experience quickly became far more than a children's holiday. From the moment their family was announced on board to the sound of Disney's famous horn fanfare, it was clear this was a cruise designed to bring everyone together, no matter their age.

Why Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay deserves a place on your travel wish list

10 August 2026

When you think of a Caribbean cruise, it's often the ports of call that steal the spotlight. But Norwegian Cruise Line is changing that with its private island, Great Stirrup Cay. Already loved for its white-sand beaches and laid-back Bahamian atmosphere, the island is entering an exciting new chapter with the launch of Great Tides Waterpark in September 2026. Combined with new dining experiences, family attractions, and relaxing adults-only spaces, Great Stirrup Cay is evolving into a destination that's every bit as exciting as the cruise itself. Whether you're travelling as a family, a couple, or with a group of friends, here's why this private island is worth getting excited about.
