On-board activities

Mission Control is P&amp;O Cruises’ first multi-sensory immersive submarine simulation game. This new experience, set on board fictional submarine Arvia II, uses digital consoles to solve live-action mysteries and puzzles. With two storylines to choose from (one designed for adults, the other for all ages), the expedition depends on you and your crew for success. Can you complete the mission?

Exclusive to Britannia, The Cookery Club has a whole menu of classes to tempt you, including Thai street food and breadmaking. It's an opportunity to get hands-on in our state-of-the-art kitchen, guided by our team of friendly, professional chefs.

Will you brave the dizzying heights of our first ever high-ropes experience? For a little extra, you can take on our new Skywalk outdoor adventure. Set 54 meters above the ocean, this series of rope walks – with different routes to suit all abilities – takes outdoor adventures to the next level.

Chance your luck in the casino, where you could enjoy a range of exhilarating slot machines and traditional table games. Try your hand at blackjack or roulette, or simply watch the action from the sidelines with your tipple of choice.

Shore experiences

These truly are special moments to treasure. Encounter iconic landmarks and destinations from land, sea or air for a unique perspective. Go beyond our scheduled experiences with bespoke options, including your own private vehicle and guide, for the ultimate location tour. You could take a helicopter ride over St Lucia or climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

We can help you maximise your time ashore and make the most of each destination, whether that’s seeing the highlights or exploring off the beaten track. We work with local experts to bring you the best of each spellbinding destination. From a cookery class in Italy to visiting a lavender farm in Canada and learning about beekeeping in Spain, we've something for everyone.

Enjoy a perfect introduction to your destination and see all the essential highlights. Pack as much as you can into your time ashore with a local guide for the ultimate taste of your chosen destination. You might take an introductory tour of Rome (from Civitavecchia), Italy, or maybe you'll opt for a walking tour of the striking sights of Stavanger in Norway. Prefer to see the sights on your own? You can do plenty of independent exploration, too.

We want to ensure there are no barriers stopping you from seeing the world and enjoying unforgettable experiences at our many wonderful destinations. If you are a wheelchair user, our accessible shore experiences offer a range of activities that have been designed to accommodate your needs. If you're travelling with companions, they can join you too.

Dining extras

Your meals are included in the price of your holiday. But for a little extra, you’ll find our speciality dining restaurants allow you a change of scene and exquisite menus. This is a great way to add variety to your holiday or celebrate a special occasion. Enjoy sensational dishes at a fraction of the price you’d pay on a land-based holiday.

If you want a relaxing lunch, daytime bite or dinner in your cabin, you can take advantage of room service from early in the morning until late in the evening. Perfect after a busy day exploring ashore. And nibbles are available throughout the night, too. Prices range from £1 to £10 per item, providing excellent value.

We know the importance of a quality ice cream on holiday. That’s why we serve a selection of delicious Jude’s ice cream. There's also a tempting choice of pastries, cakes, milkshakes and other tasty treats available from the cafés and restaurants.

Shopping

Enjoy a minimum saving on our products of a VAT-equivalent discount off the average UK high-street price. From jewellery, watches, fragrances and sunglasses to alcohol, souvenirs and holiday essentials, you'll find it all and more on board.

Explore the work of world-famous artists and hot new talents with help from the friendly The Art Gallery by Clarendon Fine Art team. Keen to buy your first piece or enhance your collection? With transparent pricing, home delivery and interest free credit available, the experience is a breeze. Alternatively, take some time to browse the gallery for free.
