P&O Cruises fares explained

There are three different fare types on offer when you book with P&O. In addition to their three fare types, P&O Cruises also offer the option to upgrade your fare by adding on an All-Inclusive package. Read on to learn more.

Here is an explanation of each fare;

Select Price

This price gives you the most choice and flexibility.

• Choice of cabin location and first priority for upgrades (subject to availability)
• First priority for dining style on ships offering both freedom and Club Dining, and first priority for seating time and table size for Club Dining.
• Shuttle buses are provided free of charge in port (not all ports include a complimentary shuttle bus).
• Flexibility to change your booking.

You can choose from one of these additional extras;

• On-board spending money
