Oh no, the ship has sailed on this cruise
Sorry, the ship has sailed on this mini cruise and I'm sure it was a blast! Never mind though, there are plenty more mini cruises to choose from.
About this cruise
Britannia sails from Southampton on Friday 6th April 2018. Your first night at sea will be a great opportunity to see exactly what makes this British-themed cruise ship so special. Enjoy a drink at the many bars onboard, and dine in a choice of restaurants. Head to the theatre for a great show, or head to one of the lounges to relax. When it is time to rest, head back to your stylish modern cabin.
The following morning the ship will dock in Zeebrugge. The gateway to Belgium, you will find excellent rail links to Bruges and Brussels. Alternatively, opt for one of the optional shore excursions P&O Cruises sells, making getting there hassle-free.
If you would rather just spend the day onboard, that is fine. In fact, the ship will be quieter giving you a sense of exclusivity. Head to the spa for pampering, head to the relaxing outdoor sanctuaries, take a dip in the pools, hit the gym, or take the opportunity to enjoy plenty of delicious treats. If you book early enough, you can learn some new culinary skills at the Cookery Club inspired by James Martin.
Britannia will sail overnight back to Southampton, so use this as the perfect excuse to see anything you may have missed. Hit the shops, try a speciality restaurant, head to a different bar, and enjoy a different show.
I sailed on Britannia on a mini cruise staying in a balcony cabin. I also had the pleasure of dining at the Epicurean restaurant.
