The very first piece of steel has been cut for P&O Cruises newest ship at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
This important construction milestone was observed with a steel cutting ceremony, attended by P&O Cruises senior vice president, Paul Ludlow; Carnival UK president Josh Weinstein and managing director of Meyer Werft, Tim Meyer.
2020 will put P&O Cruises in the history books once again. In two years, they will introduce Britain’s biggest cruise ship. This ship will offer the next generation of guests the holiday of a lifetime on the next generation of P&O Cruises ships.
At 180,000 tons this ship will offer more choice of accommodation, more places to dine in style, more spaces to relax, more entertainment and more freedom to make your holiday your own – wherever you are in the world.
On Thursday 24 May at 4pm, P&O Cruises will announce live to the world the name of the new ship. This highly anticipated announcement comes as a result of a competition that was ran last year, when they invited members of the public to suggest a suitable name for the ship. Over 30,000 submissions were received with a panel of experts making the final decision. Will it be yours?
Choice, flexibility and the ability to create your own on-board experiences lie at the heart of the new ship, giving you the chance to rest and play your way. The new ship has been designed by the world’s leading design and guest experience teams to make sure you have a wealth of dining, entertainment, socialising and relaxation options to make your holiday extra special. And rest assured, P&O Cruises DNA will still shine through. You’ll be treated to the best British hospitality and standards of service that you know and love
Choose from:
Over 15 places to eat to suit all appetites and occasions
8 speciality restaurants
More than 10 places to enjoy a drink and take in sea views
18 whirlpools
4 swimming pools (three outside and one inside)
More than 6 places to have breakfast

The ship will be the most environmentally efficient ship in the history of P&O Cruises. Powered at sea and in port by liquefied natural gas, exhaust emissions will be significantly reduced to help protect the environment.
The ship will have a capacity for 5,200 guests. This makes it the largest cruise ship ever built for the British market.
