P&O Cruises are giving us a lot to look forward to next year with the release of their cruise programme up until November 2023.
Bring the family along for this adventure through Norway’s awe-inspiring fjords in which you’ll experience the wonder of nature as well as Norway’s rich culture. On a stop at the former European Capital of Culture, Stavanger, you’ll be free to explore its mix of museums and galleries, before you head north into the country’s more rugged terrain. Onboard Iona you’ll have several pools to choose between whether you want to have fun as a family or relax in an ambient setting. On top of the exciting stop offs at ports along your journey, P&O Cruises has a selection of shore experiences, that are available at an additional cost, to help envelope you more deeply in the destinations you visit.

Lounge on the beaches of Italy, France and Malta in between soaking up the culture and history of these storied countries. Following your departure from Valletta you’ll spend a day at sea before arriving on the island of Corsica to wander along its palm-lined promenade and pastel-hued shopping streets. Head to the local marketplace to pick up local handicrafts and souvenirs of your visit. Your first stop in mainland France brings you to the relatively unknown resort of Villefranche; where a short walk along its narrow, cobbled streets is sure to have you stumble upon a quiant local café or chic boutique. During your time in Italy, you’ll visit the bustling port town of Livorno and the Eternal City of Rome on a trip from the port of Civitavecchia.
Your ship, Azura, perfectly balances opportunity for some quality time as a family with the chance to be independent. In the evenings, gather to watch a cabaret show in Manhattan, a musical and dance production in The Playhouse Theatre, or an open-air cinema screening at SeaScreen. In the day, as the kids enjoy the fun at The Reef kids’ club, parents can unwind with an alfresco spa treatment at The Retreat under one of the shaded cabanas with personal wait service.

Every moment is planned to feel special, from the VIP-style arrival at Grantley Adams International Airport to sunset cocktails and candlelit dinners at premium restaurants.
The Maldives has no shortage of exceptional resorts, but Six Senses has carved out a reputation for doing things a little differently. Here, luxury goes hand in hand with sustainability, wellness is woven into every stay, and experiences are designed to help guests reconnect with nature rather than simply admire it. Two of the brand's most remarkable island escapes are Six Senses Laamu and Six Senses Kanuhura. While both deliver the barefoot luxury that Six Senses is known for, each offers its own distinct personality. Whether you're dreaming of pristine reefs, laid-back island living, or some of the Maldives' finest beaches, here's how these two extraordinary resorts compare.
Thailand has long been a favourite for island escapes, but rather than choosing just one destination, why not experience several? Island hopping through the Gulf of Thailand allows you to discover a different side of the country, where each island has its own personality, from lively beach towns and world-class diving to hidden bays and peaceful luxury retreats. With reliable ferry connections making travel between the islands straightforward, it's never been easier to combine multiple destinations into one unforgettable holiday. Start with a few days in Bangkok before heading south to Koh Samui, then continue your adventure to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, creating a trip that balances culture, relaxation, and adventure.
