Welcome to P&O Cruises. This website presents a main menu on the left hand side from where you can browse our cruises, and a toolbar menu at the top page with search, live chat, support, and profile settings.
Planning a holiday in advance can be tricky. When should you start planning your next holiday, or much should you save for a holiday per month, where can you cut costs in your daily life to treat yourself to your dream holiday?
Cutting down on a few daily expenses here and there means you’ll be financially prepared when it’s time to book your next holiday. And it all starts with a cup of coffee a week - no, really. To help you save for your next cruise with P&O, we broke down approximately how many cups of coffee you’d need to save on to book our most popular cruises.
If you still don’t believe us, let’s show you our working-out. If the average cup of barista-made coffee in Australia is between $4 and $5, and most Aussies drink at least one per day during the working week, that’s $20 a week that you can save for your holiday. And if we assume a standard deposit of $150/pp for 1-4 night cruises, $250/pp for 5-11 night cruises and $400/pp for cruises of 12 nights or longer. It looks a bit like this:
We’ve also factored in paying the total amount of your cruise 75 days before departure. All prices are per person in a quad-share room.
We’ve calculated approximately how much you’ll need to save per week to book a cruise. And the best part is it’s well within your grasp. Affordable and packed with value, a P&O cruise is one you’ll fondly remember for the rest of your life. But how much will it actually cost?
You won’t believe it, but saving for a holiday with P&O can cost you as little as a cup of coffee per week. Just a few dollars a week, and just like that, your cruise holiday is already attainable, which means planning can start ASAP.
While we’ve calculated how much you’ll need to save based on pricing at the time of booking, you can potentially find a great cruise deal by booking early. With the best choice in room categories and location on the ship, it pays to get in sooner rather than later
Don’t forget to check out the P&O Cruises EZPay option to make regular monthly payments from booking to departure. It really could not get any easier.
