P&O Cruise January Sail

Starting yesterday – and running until 31st January 2010 - P&O have a lovely slew of offers and incentives to try and encourage people to make early bird bookings for their cruises.

Perhaps the most significant offer is discounting: there are discounts on offer, ranging up to a thousand pounds per couple. In addition there is a free on-board shopping offer. With seven ships setting out on cruises from the UK next year, and with the soon-to-be-launched Azura starting life with the fleet in April 2010, there’s a great range of choices to suit every kind of passenger.

If you’re a ‘super-size me’ kind of passenger, then the super-liners Ventura and Azura will probably appeal to you – the discounts offered superior deluxe balcony staterooms on both ships could mean a saving of around £1,000 per couple.

Then there’s that on-board spending money, on selected cruises in April and June this spending credit is up to £150 per person

If you prefer to make your bookings online, then also in April and June, and on selected cruises only, you may be able to apply a 2.5% discount to the cost of your chosen cruise.

And finally, for those who’ve managed their money well and can pay immediately, there’s the 'Cruise Ahead' promotion: a 5% discount to passengers who pay in full at the time of making their booking.

All this makes P&O a very attractive cruise line if you are ready to book before the end of January 2010.
