FINISHED: WIN ‘A Photographic History of P&O’ book

by
Photographic history of P&O Cruises

One of the world’s most-loved cruise lines, P&O Cruises, can trace its history back over 175 years.

Through an impressive and unique collection of imagery, A Photographic History of P&O details the history of P&O Cruises and explores the impact P&O had in shaping the British Empire.

With a vast fleet of ocean liners that undertook voyages to all parts of the globe, P&O was instrumental in immigration to Australia and New Zealand, while acting as a gateway to the Far East and India.

After the advent of jet aircraft, the venerable company reorganised its services to offer pleasure cruises. In Australia, P&O held a near monopoly during the 1980s and ’90s, with its ships Oriana and Fairstar.

Today, part of the giant Carnival Corporation, P&O Cruises remains an iconic brand, offering British-based cruises, world voyages and a specialist Australian subsidiary that sails into the South Pacific.

The best part? Cruise Passenger readers will have the chance to win one of three copies of the book! To go in the draw, email sarah@cruisepassv2.wpengine.com with your name, address, phone number and why you’d like to win. Competition ends June 23.
