P&O Cruises summer 2024 itineraries from picturesque Ibiza to the awe-inspiring Arctic

P&O Cruises has launched its summer 2024 programme. Whether you’re looking for Instagram-worthy destinations or a break in Amsterdam, there are many options through P&O.

Commenting on the announcement, P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “This programme of holidays, more than ever before, maximises the time in port to ensure our guests can see and experience the very best of each destination at their own pace.”

P&O’s new ship Arvia launching in December 2022 will join the P&O fleet as a sister ship to P&O’s Iona.

For a warm getaway, Arvia will offer two fourteen-night cruise options in the Western Mediterranean. Each itinerary will stop at six ports.

One of these will travel to Italy, Spain and France with calls at La Spezia for Florence and Pisa, and Barcelona. Jump onboard for only £999 per person departing and returning to Southampton, with kid’s club, full board meals and entertainment onboard included.

The other itinerary will focus specifically on Spain and France with calls in Barcelona and Valencia. On either cruise, you’ll have time to immerse yourself in each city’s biggest attractions.

In the summer of 2024, Iona will be in the Norwegian fjords for a series of seven-night cruises.

Take in the awe-inspiring scenery in Olden and Alesund, as well as at the UNESCO world heritage port of Geiranger with its incredible waterfalls and steep cliffs. Climb aboard April 20, 2024 for your roundtrip cruise from Southampton starting at £529 per person.

Iona was also the first of any British ship to be powered by liquified natural gas, making it a great option to be eco-conscious.

Another P&O ship, Britannia, will include itineraries both to the Norwegian fjords for seven nights and the Western Mediterranean islands. One Mediterranean cruise will head to the Balearics, an archipelago off of Spain, with calls in Palma and Ibiza. Another will include these ports with an additional call at Cagliari in Sardinia.

These itineraries in particular will host exciting, new shore excursions and activities. Head to a beach club for some relaxation or take part in an adrenaline-packed, heart racing activity in Ibiza.

One of P&O’s largest ships, Azura will be based in Malta for the 2024 summer season with a number of seven and fourteen-night fly/cruise trips all around the Mediterranean.

Western Mediterranean itineraries include calls at Civitavecchia for passengers to visit Rome and Villefranche for guess to explore Monte Carlo. Depart on April 18, 2024 from £699 per person round trip from Tenerife with flights to and from the UK included.
