Seven nights aboard P&O Britannia for under £650 per person, departing from Southampton in March 2026. No airports, no security queues, no 20kg luggage drama — just roll up and board.
The deal
P&O Britannia, 7 nights, inside cabin from £649pp. Ports of call: Barcelona, Cannes, and Florence (Livorno). Departs Southampton, March 2026. Room only — drinks package costs extra.
Why we like it
First, the no-fly angle is genuinely useful if you're in southern England or don't fancy Gatwick queues. Second, £649 for a week's full-board cruise (meals included) is respectable value; you're paying roughly what you'd spend on a mid-range hotel plus restaurants elsewhere. Third, three decent ports mean you're not stuck at sea eating and sleeping the whole time.
Catch: inside cabins are snug. The drinks package omission stings a bit — expect to pay extra for wine with dinner and cocktails by the pool. Also, March weather in the Med is mild at best, not summer-holiday warm.
