P&O Cruises to offer more than 650 ship visit places in 2025
P&O Cruises has unveiled its 2025 ship visit programme, with more than 650 places available for travel agents
The cruise line’s engagement series began in April 2025 with visits onboard Iona and Arvia, followed by events on Britannia in May and early June.
On 14 June the company will host agents onboard Britannia in Belfast, with the ship repositioning for an event in Liverpool on 16 June.
These visits coincide with Britannia’s 10 year anniversary cruise, and attending travel agents will be invited to evening celebrations hosted by the regional sales teams in each city.
The vessel will then head to Southampton for visits on 20 June and on 4 July, with the former including a cooking masterclass with brand ambassador Marco Pierre White.
Arcadia will host a “bring your buddy” event for agents in the south coast port on 27 June and additional Southampton-based and regional visits will be announced throughout the summer.
During the day visits, agents will take a guided tour of the cabins, entertainment venues and dining areas, as well as lunch.
P&O Cruises sales director Ruth Venn said: “We’re thrilled to welcome so many agents back on board for our 2025 ship visit programme. These visits are a fantastic way for agents to immerse themselves in the P&O Cruises experience, build their product knowledge, and share this with their customers.
“We know the value in first hand training experiences, seeing is believing, which is why we’ve made sure to offer ship visits in as many locations as possible.
“With additional visits as part of the CLIA Beyond Expectations conference, and two Shine at Sea training experiences planned for later this year, P&O Cruises is committed to once again hosting over 1000 travel agents on board in 2025.”
Agents can register and find more information via the Shine Rewards Club.
