P&O Cruises has reported a heavy demand for their UK Staycation sailings as the system went live.
“We always hoped that these domestic cruises would be popular but we have never before seen such significant and immediate demand and it certainly shows the effects of lockdown and everyone’s need for a holiday.”
“Many thousands of guests have already made bookings and Iona’s maiden voyage to the Scottish islands is already very sold and will be a very special cruise.”
With the anniversary of Britain’s lockdown passing, Brits are desperate to travel abroad for a holiday, but with that deeming unlikely at the moment, the opportunity to have a staycation in the UK combine with the luxury offering of a cruise ship adds to the UK holiday offer.
The three-, four- and seven-night cruises on the flagship Britannia and the new ship Iona – billed by the cruise line as “the ultimate British break” – will set sail from Southampton between June and September.
