Our Shared Vision & Culture

At P&O Cruises, as part of Carnival Corporation & plc, our highest responsibility and top priority is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we touch and serve, and our shipboard and shoreside employees. On this foundation, we aspire to deliver unmatched joyful vacations for our guests, always exceeding their expectations and in doing so driving outstanding shareholder value.

We are committed to a positive and just corporate culture, based on inclusion and the power of diversity. We operate with integrity, trust and respect for each other -- communicating, coordinating and collaborating while seeking candour, openness and transparency at all times. And we aspire to be an exemplary corporate citizen leaving the people and the places we touch even better.

Our Culture Essentials

The culture we create is critical and it’s built though our work, training, how we treat each other and how we hold each other accountable. It’s a reflection of who we are, what we stand for today and what we aspire to be tomorrow.

Together with every brand in our Carnival family, all P&O Cruises colleagues champion our Culture Essentials; a clear set of clear behaviours which help us build an even stronger culture, together.

How we hold ourselves to account

As part of the largest global cruise company, at P&O Cruises we recognise our responsibility to provide industry leadership and to conduct our business as a responsible global citizen. Carnival Corporation & plc has established an ethics and compliance programme to support us in upholding the commitments set out in our company vision and to promote and maintain a high standard of professional and ethical conduct.

We require that every member of the P&O Cruises team uses sound judgment, maintains high ethical standards and demonstrates integrity in their work. We also expect our business partners to respect and follow applicable laws and regulations and to promote ethical decisions and conduct in all aspects of their business with P&O Cruises.

In support of our priority to ensure the health safety and wellbeing of everyone, we publish an annual statement under the United Kingdom’s Modern Slavery Act and Australia’s Modern Slavery Act outlining our efforts to combat slavery and human trafficking. We take our responsibility very seriously and are proud of the measures we have taken. View our Modern Slavery Act here.
