P & O Europe & World Voyages

Holiday with P&O Cruises and you can choose an experience to suit you. Today’s holidays are all about choice and diversity.

This enables you to tailor your holiday to your lifestyle and wishes in terms of dining, ambience, entertainment and much more.

Choose a Contemporary & Innovative experience on board either Arcadia or Oceana and you will enjoy a thoroughly modern and flexible holiday. Aurora and Oriana offer an Original & Authentic cruise experience that combines a sense of history and refinement with every modern facility you could wish for.

Ship info

Adonia

Adonia will be the smallest of the seven ships within our fleet. Designed to offer a wonderfully intimate cruising experience, she will radiate small ship charm. Stepping on board will be akin to returning home; there will be a comfortingly familiar feel to your surroundings with experienced P&O Cruises officers and crew on hand to look after your every need. Due to her small numbers – she carries just 710 passengers – Adonia will be incredibly sociable and within no time at all, you’ll be surrounded by friendly, familiar faces. Exclusively for adults, Adonia will travel far and wide, exploring ports the larger ships of today are unable to visit.

With wood-style panelling, a grand staircase and traditional artworks, her ambience and décor will be in keeping with the traditions of cruising. Yet being a 21st century ship, (she was built in 2001) there’ll be modernity to her detailing, all of which will be beautifully crafted. Her Crow’s Nest will offer far reaching views by day and live music by night, and Anderson’s bar will feel reassuringly British. In her grand lounge, the dance floor will play host to an elegant waltz or cha-cha-cha and its stage will present a wide range of evening entertainment. There will be a card room with panoramic ocean views, ample sunbathing space and restaurants which range from six-course silver service to al fresco grill fare. And of course being smaller, everything is only just a short walk away.
