About P&O Cruises

Their ships are immediately recognizable thanks to the Union Jack painted on the hull. It's not an all-inclusive line, but gratuities are included in the fare. Passengers who sail with P&O are generally British, and the lowest average age is around 50 except during school breaks and holidays.

Tipping isn't needed on our ships, so you can relax knowing good service and good times are all part and parcel of your P&O Cruises holiday.

The dress code during the day is just your typical holiday wardrobe. Think t-shirts, shorts and sundresses (unless you're heading to colder climates in the winter!). Away from the pool, we ask for shoes to be worn and no pool wear in the ship's lounges, inside bars, restaurants or reception.

If you're having dinner in the main restaurant or any meal at one of the specialty restaurants, you'll follow a “smart casual” dress code on most nights. This means long pants, jeans, a dress or skirt, a stylish top, or a button-down.

Never fear: If you're looking for an affordable cruise for you, you'll find many cruise deals available for the senior crowd, which cruise lines often consider to be those who are 55 years and older.

In fact, a cruise is the perfect family vacation for seniors to partake in, because not only is the transportation part of the adventure, but there are plenty of activities for seniors to enjoy with the family as a group, or on their own should some family members choose to partake in other activities.

The cruise lines that attracted the oldest passengers were mostly river cruise lines. Among major ocean cruise lines, Holland America Line also attracted an older passenger base, with an average age of 64. The luxury brand, Oceania Cruises, had an average age of 64.1.

Water, teas and coffees are available on board free of charge. However, for canned, still or sparkling water, or specialist teas and coffees such as Costa Coffee or Teapigs, you'll need to either purchase a Drinks Package or pay as you go.

Can you opt out of tipping on P&O cruises? ›

If you object to the P&O Cruises tipping policy you have the option to request their removal. Head to the guest services desk, state your decision, and the cruise line will opt you out of P&O tips by amending your onboard account.

Several luxury cruise lines just include the gratuities in the cruise fare, smoothing over any possible issues. Most lines allow passengers to adjust or remove automatic tips by visiting the front desk. The exception? Norwegian Cruise Lines, who requires cruisers to file a reimbursem*nt request after the cruise ends.

P&O Cruises is part of the Carnival Australia family, which represents seven leading cruise brands in the Australian and New Zealand market: P&O Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises World Cruising, Princess Cruises, and Seabourn.

What does P&O Cruises stand for? The initials P and O stand for 'Peninsular and Oriental', an abbreviation of The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which became the company's full name in 1840 (although our roots trace back further).
