The very nature of cruising means it has long been thought of as a long, slow vacation at sea. But P&O’s modern approach to the cruise lends itself more to flexible short breaks; relaxing local return trips that fit neatly into a weekend or a sneaky midweek getaway. To make the most of that time on the ocean, P&O has tailored cruises around food and wine, sporting events and even comedy.
In 2016 P&O made headlines when it became the first cruise line in the world to offer calls to the Conflict Islands, bringing the pristine white sand beaches, World War II history, lush flora and exotic animals of Papua New Guinea – which were previously only accessible by helicopter or a treacherous local boat ride – within reach of Australian holidaymakers.
Oceania Cruises has a new ship and an amazing series of new journeys. Peter Lynch and Rose Kelly talk to the line's James Sitters about what's on offer and some special deals just for you.
