Kevin Boag, as well as being one of our favourite Hotel Directors, is a skilled amateur photographer.
He takes us through some tips & tricks for taking a perfect sunset shot, whilst he relaxes in Koh Samui Thailand, during our cruise pause.
P&O Short Breaks are the ideal quick getaway that will make you feel like you've been on a complete holiday without all the stress of planning one.

Hi, I'm Sharon! Remember me? I found love with my castaway, Don Juan on a deserted island in the South Pacific. I can't wait to cruise again, but until then I'll be staying at home. So, I thought I'd share some tips for keeping boredom at bay, and your body & soul in tip top shape.
Tip # 5 Tik Tok
Social distancing restrictions are slowly easing, but TikTok is still going crazy on socials. Try a #FlipTheSwitch or #SmallGestures challenge with your mates. Alternatively, boogie up a storm and TikTok it for all your followers. Get creative and have a laugh.
And remember to share the love with us,
Sharon xx
Tip # 4 Find-A Word
Nothing clears the cobwebs like a good word puzzle. Download Sharon’s Find-A-Word, test your P&O knowledge & challenge your family to see who can complete the puzzle the quickest.
Remember to play nice! Everyone's a winner,

Download & PlayTip # 3 Spotify Iso-cation Playlists
Put your favourite tracks into a feel good, iso-cation playlist on Spotify and take your ears on a little holiday!
A few classics are a great start, but you can choose anything you love, whether that’s Blue Room jazz, 90’s favourites or rock anthem classics!
Alternatively, you can plug into our P&O Sailaway Party playlist and have your own pumping Sailaway party @ home.
Never stop dancing, guys! Sharon x
Tip # 1 - Craft
Now that you have a little more time on your hands, it’s the perfect time to put them to work and develop a crafty new skill! YouTube has loads of online tutorials where you can learn to paint, draw, crochet, knit or macrame. Here’s a little something I macra-made in my spare time.
Share your creations online and challenge your mates to do their own creative projects. I can’t wait to see with what you come up with! Get crafty kids, but most of all have fun!

Tip # 2 Video Parties
Video conferencing is a fun way to keep in touch with your friends & family while you’re at home. Spice up your virtual house parties with dress ups, themed nights, takeaway and a splash of vino!
