Britannia is one of P&O’s newest and largest vessels, of the same class as Royal Princess and Regal Princess, but with some changes. At 143,000 GT and carrying 3674 passengers, special attention has been given to dining menus and options. On the top two decks are separate areas dedicated to children’s activities, an adults’ retreat, and deck games.All the public spaces for entertainment, dining and socialising are located on the three lower decks, the centre of which is the three-storey atrium. The dozens of private areas present an uncrowded atmosphere for relaxation. The decor and furnishings follow a modern and comfortable British style (as opposed to Las Vegas glitter). You’ll want to take a good look at the Cookery Club facilities. P&O presents Britannia as “a family-friendly larger ship”.

There are 27 very comfortable single cabins, both inside and with a balcony. Thirty-two cabins are wheelchair accessible, near the elevators, and across all stateroom categories. In-cabin entertainment on large flat screen TVs comes with films on demand. Cabins have a mini-bar, writing desk, tea and coffee making facilities, safe, hair-dryer, bathroom with glass shower screens, and a pamper pack.

The layout is roomy, with muted decor and original artworks. All balconies have chairs and table. The Deluxe Balcony cabins are larger, with a sitting area that can be divided from the bedroom with a curtain. The 64 Suites offer a larger separate living area and the services of a personal butler. All cabins have two lower beds convertible to a king-size bed. In the majority of twin cabins, for families, beds fold down from the ceiling or out from the wall. In other cabins, mini-suites and suites, the extra beds are sofa beds. In addition, 24-hour room service is available in all cabins.)
