P&O Cruises has outlined its winter 2028–29 collection, covering 130 destinations with sailings from Southampton and fly-cruise options. The company’s October 7 announcement highlights longer stays in ports including Rio de Janeiro, Madeira and Antigua.
According to Cruise Industry News, Azura will add Gran Canaria as a turnaround option alongside Tenerife, with more calls at Agadir in Morocco. Aurora’s expanded Americas program includes overnight stays in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Arcadia’s farewell program includes a New Year’s Eve visit to Madeira before its previously announced 2029 fleet transfer.
Preregistration runs October 13–19, 2026, and general sales begin October 21. Travelers should check the opening date for their particular departure rather than assuming every itinerary becomes available simultaneously.
The collection is a future schedule, not a change to this winter’s bookings. Compare departure airports, port times and the selected itinerary before making arrangements around one of the newly announced routes.
