P&O Fares explained

There are three different fare types on offer when you book with P&O. In addition to their three fare types, P&O Cruises also offer the option to upgrade your fare by adding on an All-Inclusive package. Read on to learn more.

Here is an explanation of each fare;

 

Select Price

This price gives you the most choice and flexibility.

• Choice of cabin location and first priority for upgrades (subject to availability)

• First priority for dining style on ships offering both freedom and Club Dining, and first priority for seating time and table size for Club Dining.

• Complimentary shuttle buses in port (please be aware that not all ports provide shuttle buses).

• Flexibility to change your booking

You can choose from one of these additional extras;

• On-board spending money
• Car parking in Southampton
• Return coach travel to Southampton
  
  
   

Early Saver

Early Saver offers a great price but without the benefits of Select Price.

• Available on selected grades of cabin - your cabin will be allocated to you by the cruise line.

• Possible upgrades (where and if available, after non-Saver bookings)

• Flexibility required for your desired dining style, dining time, and table size in the main restaurant

Saver

Saver is the last chance for deal-seekers to get a last-minute holiday with P&O Cruises

• Only available on selected cruises, at selected times

• Only available on selected cabin grades (cabin will be assigned by the cruise line)

• Dining allocated upon boarding

• Full balance to be paid at the time of booking

• 100% cancellation fee if cancelled at any time before the sail date

All-Inclusive Upgrade

From 18th December 2025, your P&O cruise just got even easier with new All-Inclusive packages. These bundles combine drinks, Wi-Fi, and extra onboard credit for a simpler experience at a great price. By grouping these additions into one package, we've made booking your holiday straightforward and stress-free.

These packages offer extra benefits on top of your chosen cruise fare, helping you elevate your time onboard. It is the perfect way to make your P&O Cruises getaway feel even more effortless.

You can choose from two tiers of P&O Cruises All-Inclusive packages: All-Inclusive Classic or All-Inclusive Deluxe. These packages can be added at the time of booking.

It is important to keep in mind that these packages are non-refundable and non-transferrable once booked. 

March 2026 update:

Guests with existing bookings can now add on an all-inclusive package. If you have already booked your P&O Cruise, please contact our Customer Service team to upgrade your booking.

Deluxe and Classic all-inclusive benefits apply to guests aged 18 or over at the time of sailing. Guests under the age of 18 will receive the refresh drinks package only.

Please refer to the table below for the relevant release dates to your sailing. 
 

Upgrades must be made no later than 4 days prior to departure.
