Established in 1880 by Arthur Anderson, P & O Cruises is one of the oldest cruise lines in the world. Replete with traditional fittings, which give a feel of classic cruising, the ships have modern attractions like large open decks with pools and whirlpools, luxurious spas, state-of-the-art theatres and show lounges, and lots of cabins with balconies. A distinctive feature of P & O Cruises is that all through the year, there are selected cruises with a particular themes - be it classical music, golf, antiques, wine, jazz, 60s, 70s or 80s pop, comedy, nature or civilization -- accompanied by experts or performers from that field.
