The offer, announced today on 1st May 2026, applies to third and fourth guests sharing a balcony cabin with two full-paying adults on selected voyages departing from Southampton.

P&O Cruises Are Great For Families
I’ve taken my kids on all of P&O Cruises family ships and they’ve always had a great time. They love the kids clubs, pools and the variety of family-friendly entertainment.
The line is one of the only cruise lines to allow two-year-olds into the kids clubs without parents, and there’s also a complimentary night nursery for under fives, making it a great option for those with younger children too.
Cruise fares with P&O Cruises include accommodation, full board dining, access to pools and entertainment such as theatre shows and live music, as well as complimentary children’s clubs.
