Britannia Ship Visit

In March 2015 I was one of the lucky agents to be invited by P&O to spend a day and evening on board their new ship Britannia in Southampton.

I couldn't wait to get on board and have a look round this brand new ship and I wasn't disappointed.

Britannia was brought together by world-leading interior design experts to represent the best of British style and elegance. The atrium was spectacular with its centrepiece the Star Burst sculpture, and is arranged over three decks. Definitely a draw for those holiday photos.

It was lovely being able to wander around and see what was round the next corner. I loved the relaxed feel being aboard and in the evening we were spoiled for entertainment. We couldn't decide and had another look around the ship and came across various acts and artists in different venues so there is really something for everyone. I loved the Crow’s Nest bar where they had over 20 different types of Gin! Definitely worth a visit.

The Spa facilities on board are lovely and perfect for a spot of indulgence. 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 cabins are furnished in a boutique style, with soothing colour schemes and unrivalled entertainment options. All outside rooms feature balconies – a first for a P&O Cruises ship. Food will be a hugely important feature of the Britannia experience. We had a Marco Pierre White menu and it was divine!

There is a choice between three signature restaurants, serving food from all corners of the world around the clock. P&O have lined up a Who’s Who of British food – including James Martin, Mary Berry and Marco Pierre White – to lead celebrity master classes on select Britannia sailings

I was really impressed with the children’s facilities I saw on board and what was available for the kids to do in the clubs. They really wouldn't be bored and you would struggle to get them out! I’m sure my 12 year old would have a ball and make lots of friends.

I haven’t covered half of what is on board and I hope to go back on Britannia again with my family at some point and share it 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.
