Family fun on P&O Cruises

Enjoy cruises with all the family on the family-friendly members of our fleet: Aurora, Azura, Oceana and Ventura. These ships were created with family enjoyment and comfort in mind – with large children’s areas and child-friendly pools and public areas (as well as areas reserved just for adults).

What's included in the price of your holiday

In summary: dedicated clubs for all ages, night nursery, children’s tea, discos and activities are all included in your fare! On family friendly cruises, you may also receive generous reductions on children’s fares if they share your cabin, or in some cases children’s places are free!

The Reef

The P&O Cruises exciting free on board programme for 2 – 17 year olds is called The Reef. Split into four age groups, there are a whole host of exciting activities organised daily by our enthusiastic and well qualified Reef Rangers, to keep children of all ages entertained safely throughout the day and evening and to ensure that they have the chance to make friends of their own age. We really have thought of everything, so why not let us take the stress out of family holidays?

  • Splashers’ for 2 – 4 year olds
  • ‘Surfers’ for 5 – 8 year olds 
  • ‘Scubas’ for 9 – 12 year olds 
  • ‘h2o’ for 13 – 17 year olds

Family dining

Normally children join their parents for breakfast and lunch but since you might occasionally want to dine on your own, on our family-friendly ships, we lay on a special children’s tea every night featuring all the food that children will enjoy: sausages, fish fingers and pizza to name just a few. In addition there are many healthy options, such as salads, soups, fruit, vegetables and pasta.

Accommodation

Our cabins are well equipped for the needs of the whole family. Many have additional beds. For example, in the majority of twin cabins, beds fold down from the ceiling or out from the wall.
