P&O Cruises is preparing for a full return to service this week with Arcadia due to sail to the Canary Islands on Sunday.
The departure will mark the first time the line’s six-ship fleet is in full service since the pause in operations brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “This is an important milestone and one which is certainly cause for celebration. By the end of March we will have all six ships back in operation, and doing what we do best.
“Britannia and Azura have had a very successful season in the Caribbean from Barbados and Iona has spent her maiden winter months in the Canary Islands and northern Europe and will soon head up to the spectacular Norwegian fjords for the summer of scenic cruising and thrilling adventures.
“It is evident that our guests are reassured by the steps we have taken to protect their health and wellbeing and that they are delighted to be back on board re-igniting their passion for travel.”
Ludlow added: “Arcadia is hugely popular with our loyal cruisers and I know the captain and team on board cannot wait to sail the fantastic itineraries we have planned for this year.”
We are delighted that with Arcadia’s return to service this coming Sunday, our full fleet will be sailing again.
