P&O Boast Impressive Sales Figures for World Itineraries

P&O received bookings worth just under £14 million in only one day – on 15^th September the line put up its 2010 world cruises on sale, selling cruises to almost 1,000 people. Itineraries on both Arcadia and Aurora depart from Southampton in January 2010.

P&O Cruises’ managing director Nigel Esdale said that "In a time of economic instability, and when everyday budgets are being tightened, it is remarkable how resilient the cruise market can be."

"Whilst world voyages do attract a number of passengers new to cruising, they are of particular appeal to our more experienced clients who have the time and inclination to be away for long periods of time,” said Esdale. “This market is, perhaps, showing to be more immune to the current economic climate, and explains why our on sale date for this brochure went with such success.”
