P&O Comedy Festival Cruises

When it comes to holidays that promise a barrel of laughs for every guest, it doesn’t get much better than P&O comedy cruises. Our comedy cruises are the perfect short getaways for those who take their laughter seriously, and offer front row seats to shows by the best and brightest comedic talent from Australia and beyond.

Celebrate comedy in all its shapes and forms, from the dry and droll to the provocative and politically incorrect. No matter what tickles your fancy, our star-studded program is sure to have something to put a smile on your face. Consider yourself a bit of a comedian? Hop aboard one of our Short Break Comedy Cruises, where you’ll have a chance to hone your craft in expert-led comedy workshops and perform for your fellow guests.

Deciding to join a comedy cruise is the easy part: The hard part is picking which one is best for you!
