Last Minute P&O Cruises Discounts

P&O Cruises always offer outstanding value for money. In fact, sailing with P&O Cruises is one of the cheapest ways to enjoy a cruise. If you book your cruise with only a few weeks to departure, you may be able to receive even better value for money! This is because P&O Cruises, like many other cruise lines, often reduce the priced of cabins as departure nears. They don't want to send the ship out with space on board, so they often offer discounts of 10%, 20%, 30% sometimes even 40% or more in order to entice cruisers to book these last minute sailings.

Last Minute P&O Cruises Destinations

Book a P&O mini cruise departing from Southampton in the coming weeks and you might be pleasantly surprised by how cheap you can get the cruise. Cruising in this way can be much cheaper than a standard city break - plus you'll save even more as all your meals are included whilst on-board. But it's not just short breaks where you'll save. If you're looking for a longer cruise, two weeks or more, visiting far-flung destinations such as the Caribbean and Azores, you'll find that the savings on last-minute departures can be astonishing. Understandably, most people book a trip like that months, if not years, in advance. So if you spot that there are any places left at a reduced price for a departure in the coming weeks, be sure to snap it up before the last places go.

P&O Cruises Ships

P&O Cruises offer a variety of ships, from large family-friendly vessels to smaller, adults-only ships. When booking last minute, it's important that you make sure that the ship is right for you so that you can make the most of your late getaway. Here at Cruise118, we have a dedicated cruise concierge team who will make sure that we only book you on a cruise that matches your desired and expectations. We'll never book you on any old ship just because the last-minute price is good.

Is it best to book a cruise last minute.

Last-minute cruises are great options for spontaneous holiday-takers and last-minute adventure seekers. While P&O cruises sell out fast and you may not have as many options for last-minute cruise destinations or room options, you never know when you’ll come across a last minute cruise deal that’s too good to be true. If you’re flexible with your travel dates and you’re not attached to a specific cruise destination or type of room, our last-minute cruise deals could be perfect for you.

Make the most of these last minute cruise deals

P&O last-minute cruises visit a range of stunning destinations and depart from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Cairns and Auckland. Check out our best last-minute holiday deals below, from unique destination cruises to some of our special  Main Event  cruises.

With a  Whitsunday cruise deal  to Airlie Beach, you could snorkel, dive, swim, paddle or just laze on a breathtaking white sand beach. Or explore the world's largest sand islands on the stunning  Moreton Island , one of mother nature's greatest wonders. Each  Australian cruise destination  will make you a tourist in your own backyard, allowing you to discover everything our beautiful country has to offer. With P&O Cruises, you'll visit natural beauty, bustling cities, quaint villages, vineyards and local shops.

Just remember, these last-minute cruises sell fast. To secure the room you want on your next holiday, it's best to plan and book ahead!

When is the best time to book a cruise?

The fear of missing out on the best cruise holidays is real. While there are some benefits to booking a cruise last minute, it might not be the best strategy for you. If your heart is set on a specific destination or you’re hoping to get the best room options for your cruise, our advice is: don’t wait! P&O cruises sell out fast. To make sure you have plenty of options, book your P&O cruise well in advance. Leave the last-minute cruise deals to the risk-takers and spontaneous adventure lovers, and secure your spot before they’re gone. Last minute cruise deal or not, our cruises offer incredible value for money year-round.

How late can you book a last minute cruise?

Our last minute cruises can be booked up to 4 days before the cruise departs, depending on availability. But if you’re hoping to nab a cruise to a specific destination, or hoping to get your choice of room, don’t leave it too long. Our cruises sell out fast, and you don’t want to miss out. Best to get in early if you find the best cruise holiday package for you to avoid disappointments!

Reviews by our customers

Feedback from our customers

• P & O excellent
• Great service, lovely people working onboard. It was one of the most relaxing holiday, thanks to P&O. Remember, its an older ship… so no big slides or huge street disco like MSC, but less people which we liked… not the 6 thousands but the 3 thousand??
• Very Britisch,elegant,traditional,classic cruise line.Formal nights every 3-4 days so you feel like on Titanic. High level of entertainment with additional,interesting lectures during long cruise/40 days/. Superb itinerary. The only minus is limited choise of food and specific britisch menu.
• Definitely we will travel again ?
• English atmosphere and we like that.
