P&O Move to Mega Ship Market

Last week news hit at cruise.co.uk and it was a buzz with the hot off the press information: We were emailed regarding the up and coming new ship from P&O. Anticipated to be the largest ship in the P&O fleet so far, the yet unnamed vessel will launch in March 2015, the new ship will carry well over 3600 passengers at 141,000 tonnes, Compare this to her newest ship Azura at 116,000 tonnes and carrying only 3000 passengers the new ship has got some records to break for P&O. No doubt the new ship will have some of the P&O Favourites – Marco Pierre White’s restaurant – Which has been a winner on Azura.
The daily mail has done a feature on the new ship – Click here to read the article.

I was discussing this with my father at the weekend, I told him that I’m so excited; I’m wondering about all the added extras on board – what will they add to her to compete with the likes of the Independence, Oasis and Allure of the Seas by Royal Caribbean. Id like to see a P&O ship with Some Fun factor – Like a mini theme park, laser quest for the kids water parks and maybe a new twist with the ice skating rinks and some fabulous shows will feature then.


Perhaps teaming up with a company to compete with NCL & Nickelodeon, Disney – I think they have the opportunity to break away from the P&O Stereo typical cruise ship and make ship with a twist.
What do you think would be a good feature to the new ship?
