P&O Cruises introduces £50 deposits on selected 2026 voyages

P&O Cruises has launched a £50 per person deposit offer on selected 2026 sailings, which can be combined with the line’s other wave promotions.

The lower deposits are available for new bookings made between January 9 and February 2 for three-to-13-night cruises outside of the balance due period.

Deposits of £100 per person are available for voyages of 14 nights or more.

The offer applies to all cabin grades and Select Price and Early Saver fare types.

Two sample itineraries under the promotion are the seven-night Norwegian fjords cruise on Iona on May 9, 2026 and 14-night Mediterranean Islands cruise on Britannia on July 17, 2026.

The first cruise offers deposits of £50, and a lead-in price of £749.

The second cruise provides deposits of £100 and a sample cost of £1,529.

The line is also offering agents the chance to win daily prizes throughout January for new bookings.

To be in with a chance of winning, agents need to make a Select Price booking and spin the #SurprisesbyShine wheel on the Shine Rewards Club platform.

Every day in January, five agents will win 500 Shine points, 30 will gain 250 Shine points and 65 will earn an extra 100 Shine points.

Shine points can be redeemed for a range of high street vouchers or an agent’s own P&O Cruises voyage.

Ruth Venn, P&O Cruises associate vice-president of sales and distribution, said: “Wave season is an incredibly busy time for our travel agent partners, who go above and beyond to secure perfect holidays for their customers.

“With this new incentive, we want to recognise this commitment and thank agents for the continued support they show us.

“By offering bumper amounts of Shine points throughout January, we’re giving agents even more chances to earn amazing rewards for booking P&O Cruises holidays.”
