Early Booking Savings on P & O’s World Cruise programme for 2013

The newest P&O Cruises ship and the largest ever in the fleet to embark upon a world cruise will depart in spring 2013. The maiden Azura Grand Odyssey is 110 nights and takes in 32 ports in 19 countries.

The cruise is one of a wide selection in the 2013 World Cruise brochure, which also includes itineraries on board Arcadia, Aurora and Adonia – the latest and smallest ship to have been added to the fleet. At just 710 passengers, Adonia sits at the opposite end of the scale to Azura, which can carry 3,100 passengers.

 The world cruise programme offers the best ever value with Early Booking savings and free on board spending money, which increases depending on the grade of cabin booked, available for bookings made before November 30, 2011. In addition, an extra 10 per cent discount is available for bookings made by August 31, 2011.

For example, passengers booking the 110 night Azura Grand Odyssey before August 31, 2011, will receive Early Booking savings of between £800 to £2,000 per person, plus the additional 10 per cent discount, and free on board spending money of between £220 to £1,100 per person (an inside cabin compared with a suite).

In addition to the four full world cruises, 18 line voyages are available on Aurora, Arcadia and Azura. The line voyages go to or from Australia and New Zealand and range from 40 to 69 nights in duration.

The 2013 World Cruise brochure also offers two ‘Boomerang’ cruises – offering a circumnavigation of the globe on two different ships (sail out on one, return with a different) with extended free time in Sydney. The first Boomerang cruise sails from Southampton on Aurora and returns on Azura, after three or four nights in Sydney. The second Boomerang cruise sails from Southampton on Azura and returns on Arcadia, after two or three nights Sydney.

The World Cruises 2013 can be booked from July 14, 2011. To request a copy of the brochure call 0800 111 4141 or visit www.pocruises.co.uk.
