P&O Cruises offers the very best in cruise entertainment. Days can be filled with as much or as little as you want, while evenings can be the social highlight.

There’s such a range of activities and entertainment taking place throughout the day, you’ll struggle to fit everything in – from dazzling performances from West End musicals in the ship's theatres to comedy and live music, piano recitals and tribute bands. And with cinema and film screenings, dance classes, pub quizzes, sports tournaments, cookery demonstrations and even special interest seminars, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

You’ll also find traditional card and table games, along with the latest slot machines in our casinos. And if you’re in the mood for dancing, head for one of our themed nightclubs, where the bars are well stocked with your favourite refreshments.

Of course, some days all you want to do is relax with a good book. No problem – you’ll find plenty of comfortable sun loungers outside and soft chairs inside.

Families will love the flexibility of The Reef children’s clubs, which offer safe havens for teens and little ones alike.

A: Think the food options on a cruise are limited to all-you-can-eat buffets and queueing up at set times? Then you’ve never dined on one of our ships. At P&O Cruises, we know that great food lies at the heart of a great holiday. That’s why we work with the brightest lights of the culinary scene, our Food Heroes, such as Marco Pierre White and Olly Smith, to bring you a range of delicious and innovative menus, from modern British classics to flavours inspired by your cruise holiday destinations. And with a range of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and low-sugar menus to choose from, we’ve got your dietary preferences covered.

So, whether you’re looking to dress up for a night of fine dining in a chic restaurant or grab a slice of poolside pizza, there’s so much to choose from – and so much is included in the price of your holiday. 

If you’re a first-time cruiser, it’s worth swotting up on your cabin options before you book. Picking the right one will always be a personal choice and so much will depend on your budget. But whatever type of accommodation you’re considering, it’s important to have somewhere where you can feel at home on your ship. Find out more here.

P&O Cruises offers three different price types: Select Price, Early Saver and Saver. All include accommodation; dining in the main restaurants, buffet and pool-side venues; entertainment from dawn till dusk; swimming pools; children’s clubs; flights and transfers on fly-cruise holidays and lots more.

On all our ships, we have two evening dress codes for guests aged 18 and over: Evening Casual and Black Tie. However, the Dress Code only applies in the evening. During the day, you can wear exactly the same as you would on any other holiday. We also host theme nights, inviting guests to dress in line with the theme if they wish.
