Cruises offer more than just travel to beautiful destinations; they create lasting connections that can range from finding love to bringing families together for multi-generational adventures.
Tasha McIntyre, who had a premonition as a teenager that she would meet her future husband on a cruise, saw her prediction come true five years later during a family trip on a P&O Cruises ship. Despite living miles apart, the couple’s chance encounter led to a lasting relationship and even discussions of honeymoon destinations on future cruises.
Similarly, Sarah Harding’s childhood memories of cruising with her family inspired her to recreate the experience by booking a multi-generational trip on the P&O Cruises ship Iona to the Norwegian Fjords. The family enjoyed a stress-free boarding experience and a variety of activities onboard, from exploring the fjords to relaxing in the ship’s comfortable suites.
In a unique challenge, Sam Cox and his colleagues from P&O Cruises raced against the company’s flagship, Britannia, on foot from Liverpool to Southampton, raising over £14,000 for charity. Despite facing injuries and extreme weather conditions, the team successfully crossed the finish line just minutes ahead of the ship, showcasing their teamwork and determination.
P&O Cruises has a long-standing commitment to supporting charitable causes, with campaigns like Beat Britannia raising over £1 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust. The company continues to engage in philanthropic efforts and looks forward to future challenges that bring colleagues and guests together for a good cause.
Partnering with the Pride of Britain Awards, P&O Cruises celebrates individuals who inspire others through their courage and kindness. Just as the awards honor remarkable people, P&O Cruises aims to unite passengers through unforgettable holiday experiences and meaningful connections, embodying values of community, celebration, and togetherness.
