So, which ship is the best fit for you? In this video, we’ll be ranking the P&O ships from best to worst based on reviews from Cruise Critic members. While we’ve only sailed on two of them ourselves, this video isn’t about our personal opinions. We’ve sifted through hundreds of reviews to see how these ships stack up according to fellow cruisers. P&O Cruises, part of the Carnival Corporation for the past 20 years, remains a quintessentially British brand. The initials P&O stand for Peninsular and Oriental, reflecting the company’s full name from 1840, though their history stretches even further back! As Britain’s largest cruise line, P&O operates out of their home port in Southampton, although they also offer fly-cruises to various global destinations. Their fleet includes family-friendly ships like Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Azura, and Ventura, as well as adult-only options such as Arcadia and Aurora. So, let’s dive into the rankings and see if you’re surprised by the ship that came in last - because we certainly were! Which is your favourite / least favourite P&O ship?
