P&O Cruises is offering exceptional value cruises during the traditional "wave" peak booking period from December to February with its best ever value holidays and Vantage Fares from £599 per person for a seven-night cruise holiday. This includes Price Promise protection and a low deposit of 10% for bookings made before February 28, 2013.
Designed to give added peace of mind to holidaymakers, especially to those booking early in 2013 to secure the cruise of their choice, the Vantage Fares from P&O Cruises have a range of great benefits included in the fare. These include a choice of cabin, the flexibility to make amendments to, or even change, the choice of cruise or cabin up to 90 days prior to departure, along with one of the following; on board spending money, car parking in Southampton or return coach travel to Southampton.
The Price Promise protection ensures that should the price of a cruise reduce, passengers will automatically be awarded the difference in price with on board spending money or a cabin upgrade. If, however, the price of a cruise should rise after the booking has been made, passengers are assured they have received excellent value by booking early.
A low deposit offer of 10%, down from the usual rate of 15%, also applies to Vantage Fare bookings made by February 28, 2013.

P&O Cruises can trace its roots back to 1837 and 2012 marks the 175th anniversary of when the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company was awarded the lucrative Admiralty contract to carry mail to the Iberian Peninsula and beyond. Not long afterwards the concept of cruising was born and since then has evolved into a popular holiday choice. Today, as trusted cruise experts, P&O Cruises has a fleet of seven ships offering holidays tailored to British tastes combining genuine service, a sense of occasion and attention to detail, ensuring passengers have the holiday of a lifetime, every time. Azura was launched in April 2010 – officially named by Godmother Darcey Bussell CBE. Small ship Adonia was added to the fleet in May 2011, named by Dame Shirley Bassey, DBE, and a new 141,000 ton as yet unnamed ship will be added to the fleet in spring 2015.
