P&O Cruises has added 67 product enhancements to make the holiday experience
even more memorable for passengers.
The new initiatives and refinements are part of a multi-million pound
programme designed to further improve the entire passenger experience on the
company's fleet of five ships - rising to six with the introduction of
superliner Ventura next April.
A new brochure has been produced giving details and timelines for each
improvement under P&O Cruises 'Elevation' initiative.
All passengers will be welcomed to their cabins by a single stem flower in a
stylish vase and a selection of confectionary in a bon-bon dish, both items
are being created by leading designer Nick Munro. Children on board will not
be left out with an in-cabin welcome, including specially designed duvet
covers, balloon and sweets.
All executive chefs have been inducted in the prestigious international
society, Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and will be adding more gala dinners. Bistro
tasting menus will also be on board Aurora and Oceana with dishes including
pan-fried cod loin with tiger prawn thermidor risotto, slow cooked
Gloucester old spot pork belly and a trio of mini crème brulees with an
almond biscuit.
Master of Wine, Conal Gregory, has shared his extensive knowledge to
encourage passengers to become wine savvy. As one of only 257 masters of
wine in the world, he has trained P&O Cruises wine stewards to ensure
passengers are pairing the right wines with certain foods and keeping them
up to date with wine/g. trends.
Golf fans are also in for a treat on board Arcadia, Oceana and Aurora as new
golf coaching is available and escorted trips are available to golf courses
around the world.
New shore excursions have been added to include once in a lifetime
experiences, such as an evening concert and after hours visit to the
Hermitage in St. Petersburg, or a salmon safari in Stavanger, plus specially
designed family tours.
P&O Cruises head of brand marketing Philip Price said: "Today's cruise
passenger is looking to step away from everyday life and to have new
experiences. It is not always the big things that make the difference - it
is also the little things."
"Elevation is a promise we give to each and every one of our customers that
we will constantly endeavour to exceed their expectations. From Egyptian
cotton sheets to a mouth watering afternoon tea, we strive to make each and
every one of our passengers exceptionally well looked after."
