P&O Britannia

Britannia started making memories in March 2015. She was the first ship to hold 3,647 passengers and 1,350 crew, before the Iona and Arvia. She holds 1,837 cabins which includes 448 Inside, 1,206 Balcony, 92 Superior Deluxe Balcony, 64 Suite and 27 Single cabins. There is an option for everyone.

Britannia is child friendly with a range of children’s clubs on board. With 4 pools, 4 whirlpools, and a steam room, there is enough space to cool off or relax. The studio holds a space for films to be played as well as, it hosts talks and demonstrations from special guests, musical performances and even game shows.

She has 3 homes which she sails out of through out the seasons which are; Southampton, Barbados, St Lucia. Her destinations of travel whilst offering the 5 star luxury are, Mediterranean and Caribbean. You’ll also find her in the Norwegian Fjords and the Canary Islands, Short Breaks and Northern European City Escapes as well. The perfect itinerary for anyone.

There is lots to do onboard to keep you and the family entertained. On board there is Headliners Theatre, A Library, An Art Gallery, Brodies. The crystal Room, The studio (as mentioned above), The Limelight Club (Indulge in a 3 course meal whilst being entertained by some of Britain’s best loved performers) and The Live Lounge (with music and dancing this is the perfect place to end your evening). The gym on board is open 24/7 with offers of fitness classes too. A sports deck to practise our football, golf, cricket, basketball and more whilst on holiday. There is so much to do that if it was all listed it would turn into a novel.

The most important paragraph of them all… FOOD. There is 9 different places to eat onboard, which included freedom and club dining options as well as a cafes and coffee shops. An option to treat yourself in a speciality restaurant such as, Shindu (The best place to try a mix of spices), The Glass House (delicate dishes with perfectly paired wine), The Limelight Club (Dinner which is accompanied with top entertainment). Want a more relaxed way of eating? No problem, head to the Horizon Buffett and try food from around the world, or try the poolside pizzeria or grill bar.

Want to shop till you drop on holiday? Britannia has multiple retail options available such as; Art and collectibles, Photography products taken on your getaway, Holiday essentials (such as Batteries, toiletries, snacks, souvenirs and more), Luxury branded items (such as, Jewelry, Perfumes, Makeup, Bags, gifts and accessories), and much more.

I had such an amazing time on board the Britannia. Being my first holiday solo I felt completely comfortable. Even though its not the smallest or biggest ship, it still offered a warm environment (even if it was in Norway). This ship will always be my choice over the bigger ships, it may not be an intermate experience with passengers and staff however, the modern touch and vast options to do on board always kept me entertained. I cant wait to go back.
