P&O Cruises announces five new Britannia sailings for April 2027
P&O Cruises has launched five new Britannia cruises, now on sale for April 2027, offering guests even more choice for the spring season.
The newly released programme includes a mix of two short breaks, two seven-night itineraries and a unique 14-night holiday spanning both southern Europe and Norway.
Each cruise is a roundtrip sailing from Southampton, ensuring guests benefit from easy, hassle-free departures from the line’s homeport.
Headlining the release is a new 14-night Spain, France & Norwegian Fjords cruise (B707A), created as a back-to-back combination of two seven-night sailings, offering guests the flexibility of a longer, more immersive holiday spanning both Southern Europe and the Norwegian Fjords.

P&O Cruises associate vice president of sales and distribution, Ruth Venn, said: “Releasing these additional Britannia sailings gives agents even more choice to meet strong demand for spring 2027 holidays. What makes this programme particularly exciting is the flexibility it offers – from short breaks to week-long escapes, through to a unique 14-night cruise that combines two popular itineraries into one seamless holiday. It’s a brilliant example of how we’re creating more opportunities for our agent partners to maximise bookings and deliver exceptional value for their customers.”
Sailing from Southampton makes it reassuringly easy for guests to begin their holiday with confidence, with convenient transport links via road and rail, and a seamless embarkation experience.
Holidays with P&O Cruises provide value for money with the price including accommodation, full board meals, pools, and entertainment including theatre shows and live bands, as well as complimentary children’s clubs.
