P&O Cruises' Britannia To Feature Most Luxurious Spa Facilities

Britannia, (P&O Cruises newest ship, scheduled for delivery February 2015), is not just the largest ship ever to be built for the British market - She also has the glamour and sophistication of a five-star hotel, complete with five-star facilities and first-class amenities.

To relax and unwind, guests can visit Britannia's signature Oasis Spa; the largest and most luxurious spa amongst the P&O Cruises fleet, complete with a Spa Shop! The first Spa Shop to feature on a P&O Cruises ship will stock skin and haircare products by Elemis, La Therapie, Phyto, Bliss and Sebastian. The Oasis Spa will also be equipped with two other new features designed to appeal to couples and groups, the Oasis Villa and a new 'blowout menu'. 

The Oasis Villa
New to the P&O Cruises fleet, the Oasis Villa is an exclusive area for guests to unwind. Facilities include a private whirlpool and a personal spa therapist for a treatment of their choice.

Blowout Menu

Following recent trends in the UK market, the Oasis Spa will feature a new 'blowout menu', perfect for black tie evenings. Guests can nip to the salon to be treated by "honchos of the hair dryer and masters of the make-up brush". The blowout menu will include a variety of treatments from a deep conditioning hair treatment to a full blown 'bombshell' makeover.

P&O Cruises Black Tie Tuxedo Hire

P&O Cruises Black Tie Tuxedo Hire

P&O Cruises are launching a new men’s Black Tie Hire Service.

Phil's comment: "About time I hear you say. Well probably it is, but to be honest when you look at retail outlets such as Next and Marks & Spencer advertising dress suits for around the £100 mark, it begs the question why not buy and then use the suit for your next five cruises. Plus it has the added incentive of making you keep your weight down..!!!"

"But - if you have a deal with Free onboard credit - you can use this to cover the cost of the hire..!! So, you do have a choice - the long or short term option."
