Best cruise line for family holidays

We know a happy family means a happy holiday. From zip-lining through treetops to making Wallace and Gromit models on our family-friendly ships, there’s everything to keep the little ones (and those not so little) entertained. With P&O Cruises, every day on holiday will bring unforgettable family adventures both on board and ashore.

 

We have five family cruising ships (Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Ventura and Azura). This leaves you a large variety to choose from when making your selection. Maybe you want to look through the sky dome on one of our biggest ships, Iona or take a dip in one of Britannia’s four swimming pools? 

 

The on-board kids clubs for 2–17 year olds is split into four distinct age groups, so that the needs and level of play in each group can be met, and to ensure that they have the chance to make friends of their own age. If you can tear them away from the clubs, there’s a wide range of activities and entertainment to enjoy all together. View our kids club page to find out more.
