If you want to go on a P&O cruise holiday in 2012/13, you have chosen the perfect time. The company will offer free coach travel, domestic flights and valet car parking as well as 20% discounts in an early-bookings drive for the 2012/13 season.

These special offers will be available on all reservations made between 1st September and 30th November 2011.

The company’s sister line, Cunard, now offers similar discounts and special offers. These include free parking at 13 United Kingdom airports for customers joining one of their fly-cruises as well as free flights for those joining their ship Queen Elizabeth on a Mediterranean cruise.

The free flight offer will be with Flybe and cover departures from Edinburgh, Belfast, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds/Bradford and Manchester. Coach transfer to the port is also included. The total savings involved can be as high as £150.

The company also offers the same discounts on flights from Manchester and Gatwick for passengers who will be joining cruise liner P&O Adonia on a Mediterranean cruise.

The P&O offer means passengers can save up to £124 in coach fares when travelling to their port of departure from 46 locations around the UK. The valet parking offer can bring about savings of up to £311 for a 35-day cruise departing from Southampton.

The cruise line also offers discounts of up to 20% on all seven cruise liners in its fleet.

P&O Managing Director Carol Marlow said “This is a fabulous deal in its own right with hassle-free options to get to the ship providing added value to the discount.”
