P&O Cruises to host 1,000+ agents onboard during 2025

P&O Cruises has revealed further details of its 2025 ship visit programme, with more than 650 places available for travel agents.

 

Along with additional visits during the Clia Beyond Expectations conference, and two Shine at Sea training experiences later this year, P&O Cruises will be hosting more than 1,000 travel agents this year.

 

The 2025 ship visit programme began in April with agents going onboard Iona and Arvia, followed by visits onboard Britannia in May and early June.

 

The programme will continue throughout the summer and autumn with a series of Southampton-based and regional visits, including special events.

 

Upcoming visits for Britannia (pictured) will be in Belfast (June 14), Liverpool (June 16) and Southampton (June 20), featuring a cooking masterclass with Marco Pierre White.

 

Arcadia in Southampton (June 27) will feature a special “bring your buddy” event, and Britannia will host more agents in Southampton on July 4.

 

The Belfast and Liverpool visits coincide with Britannia’s 10-year anniversary cruise, and attending agents will be invited to evening celebrations hosted by the regional sales teams in each city.

 

Additional Southampton-based and regional visits will be announced throughout the summer.

 

During the day visits, agents will experience a guided tour of the cabins, entertainment venues and dining areas, as well as lunch.

 

Ruth Venn, P&O Cruises sales director, said: “These visits are a fantastic way for agents to immerse themselves in the P&O Cruises experience, build their product knowledge and share this with their customers.

 

“We know the value in first-hand training experiences, seeing is believing, which is why we’ve made sure to offer ship visits in as many locations as possible.

 

“With additional visits as part of the Clia Beyond Expectations conference, and two Shine at Sea training experiences planned for later this year, P&O Cruises is committed to once again hosting over 1,000 travel agents on board in 2025.”
