If you plan on booking a P&O cruise holiday for January, February or March next year, you had better move fast. The company is now offering 15% discount on all bookings received before the end of July 2011. You could even qualify for some very nice spending money on board your chosen cruise ship.

For a seven-night cruise the maximum discount is £100 per person. This comes with a £40 voucher that can be spent on board.

For a 14-night cruise on board Oceana exploring the Western Mediterranean you will pay only £1,099 per person after the discount has been deducted. You will also get £60 per person in spending money.

The sales promotion coincides with the release of the cruise line’s 2nd edition 2012 brochure. It details 215 cruises on board the company’s seven cruise ships. A total of 84 countries and 255 individual destinations will be visited. This includes 13 ports of call that have never been visited by a P&O cruise ship before.

In other P&O news the company says it still has cabins available on four of its seven ships that will participate in the Grand Event – an occasion where all seven ships will meet each other in Southampton docks on the 3rd July 2012.

The event commemorates P&O Cruises’ 175 years of travelling the seven seas. There are still cabins available on Ventura, Aurora, Arcadia and Ardonia.

Carol Marlow, MD of P&O Cruises said that the company’s 2012 programme was one of the most adventurous and diverse ever.
