The new form of the hull is expected to reduce fuel consumption by approx 20%. Along with the hull design, P and O changed the hull art as well – with the Union Jack flag 94 m / 308 ft long. The 3700-passenger ship Britannia is the biggest ever cruise liner built especially for the British source market. The £500 million new-build is a result of four years of planning.

There is also a ping pong table and two golf nets near the Arena. The vessel was laid down in 2011, its name was announced in 2013. P&O Britannia features a 308 ft / 94 m long Union Jack flag on hull's bow - world's biggest of its kind.

Look for discounts, such as 'buy three treatments and get a 10 percent discount', especially on port days. A salon attached to the spa offers haircuts, manicures, pedicures and men's grooming. There are a few passenger photos on the walls for you to peruse, but mostly you look for your own photos and choose what you want via touch screens. Future Cruise Sales is next door if you'd like to book your next cruise while onboard.

Tip 1: Relax in the Atrium
The Oasis Villa is an exclusive-use area where you can hide away for a few hours in cushioned chairs and take a dip in your private whirlpool spa. Reserve your time there (for an extra fee) at spa reception. The Oasis Spa is at the front of the ship on Deck 5, just beyond reception.

There's also a new "Pay As You Go" option which costs 65p per minute. Because the Cookery Club does not have space for an audience, cooking demos take place in The Studio on Deck 7. They are hosted either by one of the two chefs from The Cookery Club, or a celebrity chef if he or she is onboard. The Studio also hosts afternoon films, live radio broadcasts and talks from onboard speakers. The Britannia ship is the eighth vessel to join P&O UK's fleet and named "to resonate with the forward-looking mood in Britain". Britannia is considered to be the most fitting name because of its famous long heritage, so suitable for the newest P&O addition – the favourite cruise line of Britain.
There are some venues on each ship where dress codes don’t apply, so make sure to check your Horizon paper that’s delivered to your cabin each day to check where these are, as they vary ship by ship. For those travelling on family-friendly ships, dress codes also don’t apply to children aged 12 and under. Britannia offers six different types of cabins, including the first purpose-built cabins with balconies for solo travellers on a P&O Cruises' ship. There are 15 Single Balcony cabins in total (and 12 inside singles), in a dedicated corridor at the top of the ship. In another first for the line, all 1,313 outside cabins have balconies.
Combine an exquisite three-course meal with breathtaking entertainment at The Limelight Club. Open exclusively to adults, head here for a sophisticated evening of fine dining and some of Britain's best-loved entertainers. Whether you're looking for a light bite during the day or a relaxed evening meal, The Glass House is the perfect choice. From fresh salads to flavour-packed fish dishes and succulent steaks, the perfectly paired wines are the perfect accompaniment to your delicious meal. One of the most popular places to eat on a cruise, P&O Cruises' Horizon Buffet won't disappoint.

The vessel provides the best classic features of Aurora and Oriana, and a wide choice of the contemporary variety of Azura and Ventura. 13 cafes and restaurants, 13 bars, 15 passenger decks, 4 swimming pools, 9 jacuzzis – what more of all these could a traveler wish for? Another good decision on a practical level is the greater number of single cabins - more than on any other ship. Additional amenities include Complimentary 24-hour Room-Service, Internet/WiFi access, supervised kids program, laundry/self-serve laundromats, nursery.
Bathrooms all have glass shower screens, consigning clingy curtains to the dustbins of history (at least, we hope so). Bathroom products come courtesy of the White Company and include bottles of shampoo, shower gel and hand lotion, as well as a fixed dispenser in the shower. As with the cabins, the shower rooms have been well thought out, with two shelves to place toiletries.
In an ideal world (where money is no object), our recommendation would be to eat in all the speciality restaurants; if you have to choose just one, we recommend Epicurean. Even if you are not a fan of fancy cuisine, this is worth the £28 cover charge. Everything from the decor and service to the cuisine has been meticulously thought out, and although parts are gimmicky (bloody Mary lollipops, lipstick sorbet), the quality of the food shines out.
From pizza and pasta to carvery and curry, as well as a delicious selection of desserts, you'll find yourself stacking your plate again and again at this tempting restaurant. Despite some concern, the balconies are not as small as many people feared -- they comfortably house two chairs, with plenty of space on either side, and a small table and foot stool. Note parents must remain on the ship if their teens are aboard.
Follows the complete list of Britannia restaurants and food bars. Browse this ship using our interactive deck plans and discover our range of cabins and on-board activities. The number of Black Tie nights onboard vary from 1 to 4 depending on the duration of your cruise. Make sure to check your itinerary ahead of travel to ensure you’ve packed appropriately. On Black Tie nights, it’s your chance to dress formally, with a cocktail dress, ball gown, tuxedo, suit or a smart jacket with a tie.
The teens-only deck at the aft of Deck 17 is a first for the cruise line. There is a plunge pool, lots of deck chairs and access to the H2O room. The space is simply cordoned off from the regular sun deck area, and outside of school holidays, hardly any teens use the deck. Given this, we wonder if P&O's adult passengers will try and take over the deck area when only a small number of teens are on board. A special children's tea happens every evening featuring stereotypical kid food, such as sausages, fish fingers and pizza. A children's menu is also available in the main dining rooms.
With her luminous glass-roofed SkyDome, on-board gin distillery and whole world of dining and entertainment on board. For the naming ceremony was used a nebuchadnezzar British Brut NV (from Winston Estate Winery, England's Sussex region). For the cruise ship's christening event, thousands of bottles "Rose Vintage 2011" and "Brut NV" were delivered. Britannia offers 11 restaurants on board including the Oriental Restaurant, The Limelight Club and The Epicurean.
