‘A P&O Cruises holiday is all about variety of experiences which we were keen to convey in our latest TV advertising concept,’ said P&O Cruises’ president Paul Ludlow. ‘We also wanted to capture the special, intangible aspects of a holiday and the way so many of us replay memories from our holidays for many years afterwards.’

He continued, ’The past 18 months have highlighted that we need pivotal, vital moments to create memories… This film, featuring a real life couple, captures that joy with an authentic and heartfelt spirit.’ 

He concluded, ‘'We’re proud to be launching this new campaign… We will be sharing future versions, each revealing more about the choices to be found on a P&O Cruises holiday, in the coming months and we hope that they will have wide appeal.’
