P&O Cruises offers on board training places for 120 agents  

P&O Cruises is expanding opportunities for agents to experience its ships this year.

On board training for 120 agents will take place across three sailings – each with 40 spaces available.

The Shine at Sea initiative gives agents the chance to win places on: 

• A five-night cruise on Aurora to Belgium and Germany departing on September 9
• A seven-night northern Europe sailing on Iona departing on October 31
• A four-night cruise on Venture to Belgium and France departing on 29 November 29.

All three cruises are departures from Southampton.

Each Shine at Sea sailing will combine in-depth product training with the chance for agents to experience cruises as their passengers do.

The aim is to reinforce the line’s ongoing commitment to supporting the trade through “meaningful, experiential engagement”.

Shine Rewards Club agents must book and spin any Select Price booking and register their interest from today (January 29) until March 3. 

Additional chances for agents to win will be available on the P&O Cruises Travel Agent Sales Facebook or Instagram pages. 

Winners will be chosen every week and notified directly by the company.

P&O Cruises associate vice president of sales & distribution, Ruth Venn, said: “Shine at Sea has become one of our most valued trade initiatives, and for 2026 we’re making it bigger than ever. 

“By opening up more places across three fantastic ships, we’re giving even more agents the opportunity to step on board, experience our product first-hand and build the knowledge that really makes a difference when selling to customers. Investing in our trade partners remains a priority, and Shine at Sea is a key part of that commitment.”
