Britannia

In the distance, the big white ship is the new P&O cruise liner, MV Britannia, whose maiden voyage took place on 14 March 2015.

The name Britannia was announced on 24 September 2013 and has historical importance for P&O, as there have been two previous ships named Britannia connected with the company. The first entered service in 1835 for the General Steam Navigation Company, which went on to become the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company. The second, which entered service in 1887, was one of four ships ordered by the company to mark the golden jubilee of both Queen Victoria and P&O itself.

Britannia has a total of 1,837 cabins on board with 27 of those being single cabins (inside and balcony), in addition to conventional inside and balcony cabins as well as 64 suites. For the first time on a P&O Cruises ship, all outside cabins have balconies.

Britannia has four pools with a dedicated pool for teenagers and the Oasis Spa.

I hope you have all had a good Wednesday.
