P&O Cruises Launches 2027 School Holiday Sale With £299 Child Fares
The booking window runs through August 25, 2026; the Classic Package is priced at GBP49 per person per day and bundles drinks, Wi-Fi and dining credit.
P&O Cruises will open a family-focused sales push on July 13, offering selected 2027 school holiday cruises with children’s fares from GBP299. The booking window runs through August 25, 2026, and targets departures during peak family travel periods as well as off-peak sailings. Onboard credit, lower deposits and additional-guest promotions apply on selected departures.
Ruth Venn, P&O Cruises associate vice president of sales and distribution, said the offers give travel agent partners “even more opportunities to create value for their customers while helping drive bookings across both peak and off-peak sailings.”
For selected holidays departing between April 2027 and March 2028, guests can receive up to GBP200 per cabin in onboard spending money. The promotion can be used alongside P&O Cruises’ 10 percent deposit offer, which is available until August 31, 2026.
P&O Cruises is also adding an “extra guests sail free” offer on selected off-peak departures. Where eligible, the new promotions can be combined with the line’s existing 10 percent past guest discount.
Venn said the campaign is aimed at both “families looking to make the most of the school holidays” and guests able to travel outside peak dates.
Package offer adds drinks, Wi-Fi and dining credit
The cruise fare includes accommodation, full-board dining, pools, entertainment such as theater shows and live music, and complimentary children’s clubs. P&O Cruises is also selling all-inclusive packages.
The Classic Package is priced at GBP49 per person per day, which P&O Cruises said represents a saving of up to 32 percent compared with buying the included elements separately onboard. The package combines the Classic Drinks Package, Essential Wi-Fi and specialty dining credit, which rises by cruise length to as much as GBP55 per person on longer sailings.
Essential Wi-Fi covers web browsing, email, social media and messaging apps, but not streaming or video calls. When two adults in the same cabin buy the Classic Package, children under 18 in that cabin receive the Refresh Drinks Package for soft drinks.
All adults sharing a cabin must buy the same package. The announcement did not list the eligible ships or itineraries for the selected school holiday and off-peak departures.
