P&O Cruises’ beloved Britannia ship has recently undergone a significant multi-million-pound refurbishment and is now ready to set sail from Southampton.
This update, completed in time for its upcoming 10th-anniversary celebration in 2025, includes a series of enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience.
Britannia has welcomed several design elements previously seen on Iona and Arvia, particularly in the newly adorned Sunset Bar, which now features a warm colour scheme and additional seating.
In addition, the Market Café has been updated to enhance both space and dining options. It now offers an exclusive range of gelato-filled doughnuts from the luxury gelato brand Snowflake – a first at sea.
The refit not only refreshed the public spaces with a new colour palette but also extended the Loyalty and Cruise Sales area and invested in improvements to the crew’s living quarters.
Children will find joy in the upgraded splash area, which includes colourful interactive water features, ensuring fun for all family members.
Below is a photo of my kids enjoying the old splash area on Britannia. We’ve booked again for 2025 and I can’t wait for them to see the new and updated one!
“Britannia is our flagship, and with her 10th anniversary celebration cruise next summer we know the importance of ensuring the ship looks its absolute best to deliver an elevated experience for our new and loyal guests.”
Paul Ludlow, President of P&O Cruises
The anniversary cruise, setting sail on June 6, 2025, will tour the British Isles, featuring stops in Edinburgh, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Belfast, and an overnight stay in Liverpool, concluding in Cork.
