Family Holidays with P&O Cruises
Enjoy an unforgettable break with the whole family on board our family-friendly ships Azura, Britannia, Ventura, Arvia and Iona. These vessels are specially designed to meet the needs of families and feature not only adult-only areas but also large play zones, pools and entertainment options for children.
What’s Included
Children’s and teen clubs, night-time childcare, as well as dinners, discos and kids’ activities are all included in the cruise fare. On family-friendly sailings, you may also benefit from a child discount when children share a cabin with their parents (subject to availability).
The Reef
The Reef is our complimentary children’s and teens’ programme for guests aged 2–17. Divided into four age groups, it offers exciting daily activities run by our qualified Reef Rangers, ensuring fun from morning until evening:
- Splashers (2–4 years)
- Surfers (5–8 years)
- Scubas (9–12 years)
- h2o (13–17 years)
Family Dining
Children usually join their parents for breakfast and lunch, but if you would like to enjoy a quiet dinner for two, our daily children’s dinner offers the perfect alternative. With tasty favourites alongside healthy options, the menu includes salads, soups, fruit and vegetables, as well as sausages, fish fingers, pasta and pizza.
Cabins
Our cabins are designed with families in mind. Many offer additional pull-down beds or sofa beds, and standard amenities include a TV, telephone, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, as well as large wardrobes and plenty of storage space.
Shore Excursions
We offer a wide selection of excursions tailored to families, ensuring your time ashore is just as enjoyable and stress-free as life on board. Transfers and entrance fees are already included, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. Popular family excursions include:
- Beach days
