'The Big Kid'

The new TV ad, featuring a father and daughter on holiday in the Caribbean, continues P&O's brand campaign capturing the small, personal memories that make holidays meaningful and memorable. Each episode features real-life hero relationships.

‘The Big Kid’ features a daughter recounting a day with her father exploring Barbados and snorkelling with a turtle. It is told through first person snapshots and moments that make holidays live on in the memory.
