P&O Cruises has unveiled its biggest-ever launch of itineraries to date with its summer 2021 and winter 2021/2022 cruises now on sale.

The line has more than 400 cruises visiting 186 ports in 68 countries, including new ship Iona’s second year of itineraries, featuring the Norwegian fjords and a winter season of Spain, Portugal, and the Canary Islands, and a new Mediterranean season for Azura in summer 2021.

In addition, Oceana will operate a 2021 summer season of 12-night Spain, Portugal and Canary Islands, seven-night Southern Cruise Breaks and two-night Short Breaks in 2021, while in winter 2022 Aurora will sail a world cruise for the first time since 2017, offering a western circumnavigation of the world in 99 nights.

Also new for 2022 is Arcadia’s first ever transit of the Amazon as part of its 55-night Grand Tour, which takes in the Caribbean and Central America.

In summer 2021 Iona will offer a season of seven-night Norway fjords cruises from April through to September, with calls into Stavanger, Olden, Geiranger and Haugesund, as well as seven calls to Alesund at the start and end of the season.

For the 2021/2022 winter season the ship will also offer a 16-night Spain, Portugal and Canary Islands cruise over Christmas and New Year.

In April 2021 Britannia will offer four sailings comprising a Southern Cruise Break, a Short Break and a Northern European City Escape, as well as a Spain and Portugal itinerary.

The ship will then begin a dedicated summer season of Western Mediterranean cruises between May and October 2021, before returning  to the Caribbean for winter 2021/2022.

Azura will take over from Oceana and operate the Mediterranean season in summer 2021, while Ventura will in turn replace Azura for summer 2021 on Western Mediterranean and Baltic cruises between May and October.

What’s more, Oceana will take over from Ventura in the same year on the programme of 12-night Spain, Portugal and Canary Islands cruises. Oceana will then return to Dubai and the Arabian Gulf for winter 2021-22.

P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “P&O Cruises offers much more than just a holiday. The world is full of life-enriching experiences which give our guests the chance to delve deeper, to really get under the skin of a destination and explore more while creating life long memories.”
