Cruise line P&O Cruises has more than 1,400 agent places on offer for ship visits this year, including more regional opportunities.
The programme, which will run from March to November, will offer a total of 16 opportunities to get on board Iona, Arvia, Aurora, Arcadia, Britannia and Ventura.
Each visit can accommodate up to 45 agents, with two family days on Iona in Southampton for up to 400 guests.
The Southampton visits will begin on 14 March with Iona.
In addition to the south coast, agents will be able to visit Arcadia in Greenock, Belfast and Liverpool during its British Isles cruise in May and June. Aurora will also be sailing the British Isles in July, with visits in all three ports, plus Newcastle planned.
Spaces for the first visit on Iona opened on Shine Rewards Club yesterday (1 February), with opportunities to register for the rest of the programme to be announced throughout the year.
Associate Vice-President of Sales and Distribution Ruth Venn said: “Our 2026 ship visit programme is our biggest ever from a regional perspective, which reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the trade through meaningful, hands-on training opportunities. Whether it’s a Southampton visit or a regional call, these experiences allow agents to truly understand what makes P&O Cruises distinctive and to sell with confidence. We know how powerful first-hand experience is, which is why we’ve built a programme that’s both extensive and accessible.”
