YOUR HOLIDAY STARTS THE SECOND YOU STEP ABOARD. The company that invented cruising.
Founded in 1837, the ships of P&O Cruises have been cruising the seas of the world for over 160 years, from those early days P&O undertook voyages described as excursions, the forerunners of today's cruising when passengers from England regularly travelled with the Royal Mails to ports on the Iberian Peninsular and the Mediterranean, returning home on other P&O mail voyages.
Today, P&O Cruises is Australia and New Zealand's leading cruise line offering cruises to the South Pacific, Queensland and Asia from Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland and Singapore which appeal to couples, friends and families of all ages. The local fleet currently consists of the 47,000 ton PACIFIC SUN carrying 1,900 passengers and the 35,000 ton PACIFIC STAR with 1,350 passengers. Australia's first superliner; the 70,000 ton PACIFIC DAWN carrying 2,050 passengers joined the fleet in 2007 as the most modern and largest cruise ship ever to be based in Australia. Pacific Dawn has introduced Your Choice Cruising with more choice in cabins including balcony cabins, more choice in entertainment and more choice in dining with five different evening venues.
Princess Cruises is a premium American cruise line, with offices in the Valencia section of the city of Santa Clarita, California, and operating cruise ships. The company was made famous by The Love Boat TV series, in which two of its ships, the Island Princess and Pacific Princess were featured.
Princess Cruises began in 1966, when founder Stanley MacDonald chartered Canadian Pacific Limited's Alaska cruise ship Princess Patricia for Mexican Riviera cruises from Los Angeles during a time when she would have usually been laid up for the winter.
Founded in 1951, Saga began as a small hotel in the seaside town of Folkestone. Noticing a gap in the market for off-peak holidays, entrepreneur Sidney De Haan launched breaks for retired holidaymakers. The idea took off, and soon he expanded the Saga concept to hotels and tours around the globe.
Under the leadership of Sidney’s son, Roger De Haan, the company grew into a complete lifestyle brand for the over 50s. And they haven’t looked back. In 1997, Saga Cruises launched its very own cruise line, which started with a single ship, the much-loved Saga Rose.
The company is still based in Folkestone, its hometown for 70 years, and it is proud of its heritage as a company who really cares about their customers, and who champions them in all aspects of their life.
