As of early 2026, P&O Cruises (the British cruise line) owns and operates a fleet of 7 ships. This fleet is diverse, catering to different demographics: five of the ships—Arvia, Iona, Britannia, Azura, and Ventura—are family-friendly "mega-ships" packed with kids' clubs and high-energy entertainment. The remaining two, Arcadia and Aurora, are dedicated adults-only vessels, offering a more serene and traditional British cruising experience. It is important to distinguish P&O Cruises from P&O Cruises Australia, which was absorbed into the Carnival Cruise Line brand in 2025. The British line, headquartered in Southampton, remains a cornerstone of the Carnival Corporation & plc portfolio. For 2026 travelers, Arvia and Iona represent the newest "Excel-class" ships, powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for better environmental efficiency.
