P&O Cruises is celebrating its return to the Caribbean as further evidence that post-pandemic cruising is gradually gathering pace.
Following a transatlantic crossing, Britannia will begin its series of 14-night Caribbean fly/cruise holidays from home port Barbados on 5 November, while Azura’s series of 14-night holidays opens on 10 December.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said today: “The Caribbean is unrivalled in its popularity, beauty and diversity of islands and after missing out on international travel for so long, this year guests can opt for some winter sun or celebrate Christmas or New Year in style on one of our very special Caribbean holidays.
“Our Caribbean season, running from November through to March, is a further positive step towards our full fleet returning to service.”
Caribbean Tourism Organisation Chapter UK & Europe spokesperson Carol Hay said: “We are so pleased that P&O Cruises guests will be back in the Caribbean to experience everything that makes the region so very special.”
