P&O Cruises Family Offer: Kids Sail from £299 Until 25 August

Planning a family cruise for 2027? Selected school holiday sailings come with children sailing from £299, but the deadline is approaching.

If you're already thinking ahead to the 2027 school holidays, P&O Cruises has some news that could make planning the family getaway a little easier on the wallet, and leave a bit more money for those all-important holiday treats.

P&O Cruises has launched a new collection of offers on selected 2027 sailings, with children able to sail from £299 each on selected school holiday cruises.

Families will need to be quick, though, as this particular offer is available until 25 August 2026. The offer applies to selected holidays sailing between April 2027 and March 2028, giving families plenty of time to start dreaming about swapping the school run for sea views, swimming pools and somebody else doing the washing up.

Up to £200 to spend on board

There's more good news too. On selected holidays, guests can receive up to £200 per cabin to spend on board.

That could come in handy for making the most of everything available during the cruise, although, as always, deciding how to spend it might be the hardest part. A little something here, a little something there... it soon becomes a very serious holiday decision!

Guests can also take advantage of P&O Cruises' current 10% deposit offer, available until 31 August 2026, allowing them to secure their holiday with a lower upfront payment.

Extra guests can sail free on selected cruises

Families and groups with more flexibility may also want to take a look at P&O Cruises' new 'extra guests sail free' promotion on selected off-peak departures.

Where applicable, the offers can also be combined with the existing 10% past guest discount, giving eligible returning guests even more value.

Ruth Venn, P&O Cruises associate vice president of sales and distribution, said the offers give travel agent partners more opportunities to create value for customers across both peak and off-peak sailings.

She added that there are savings available for families looking to travel during the school holidays, as well as guests who have more flexibility and can travel outside peak periods.

What's included in a P&O Cruises holiday?

As well as accommodation, a P&O Cruises holiday includes full-board meals, pools and entertainment, including theatre shows and live bands. Children's clubs are also complimentary, giving younger guests plenty to do while the grown-ups enjoy some well-earned holiday time.

For guests looking to add a few extras, P&O Cruises also offers its always-on all-inclusive packages, which include drinks, speciality dining credit and Wi-Fi.

The Classic Package is available from £49 per person, per day, with P&O Cruises saying this represents a saving of up to 32% compared with buying the individual elements on board.

With the family offer available until 25 August 2026, plus extra on-board spending money and selected sailings offering extra guests the chance to sail free, there are a few different ways for families and flexible travellers to find added value for their next cruise. And let's be honest, anything that makes holiday planning a little easier deserves a round of applause, preferably from a deckchair with a drink in hand.
