Entertainment on board your ship

There's never a dull moment...

P&O Cruises offers the very best in cruise entertainment. Days can be filled with as much or as little as you want, whilst evenings are no doubt the social highlight. When the sun goes down your ship begins to come alive with the hum of conversation and music, and you can be sure of a memorable night.

With a range of activities taking place throughout the day, you’ll struggle to fit everything in. From pub quizzes, to sports tournaments, dance lessons, informative talks and interactive demonstrations you’ll be spoilt for choice. Thankfully, you don’t need to remember when and where everything is taking place – Horizon; your ship’s daily newspaper is delivered to your cabin and contains a full list of activities. Of course, some days you just want to relax with a good book and do nothing at all. On these days you’ll find plenty of comfortable sun lounges outside and soft chairs inside to simply relax and do nothing at all.

Entertainment day and night, included in the price of your holiday!


From dazzling West-End style performances in the ship's theatres, comedy and cabaret, live music, piano recitals and tribute bands, to cinema and film screenings, dance classes, cookery demonstrations, language classes and even special interest seminars. Learn more about all these below:

    Theatres and cinema

    In the theatres on a P&O Cruises ship you will find some of the most lavish and spectacular shows at sea. There are compilations of West End and Broadway shows, as well as tributes to well known stars. Guest entertainers from the world of show business are often on board to perform and meet passengers – plus, keep an eye out for our very special Strictly Come Dancing cruises, featuring dancers and judges from the hit BBC show.

    Our on board cinemas or, in some cases, theatres show classic feature films and recent releases – many of which are shown months before they are released in the UK.

    Casinos

    Is Lady Luck smiling on you? Step into our sumptuous casinos and try your luck. In P&O Cruises casinos you’ll find traditional card and table games, along with the latest slot machines. You’ll enjoy Three Card Poker, Texas Hold ‘Em poker, Blackjack, Bingo and, of course, Roulette - one of the oldest and most popular games of chance.

    If you haven’t played before don’t worry, you can join in with fun and informative gaming lessons. During these interactive sessions you can learn valuable tips and information to make your playing more enjoyable and possibly more profitable.

    Nightclubs

    If you are in the mood for dancing, head for one of our themed nightclubs.
