Whether you’ve been dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime journey or are ready to return to the open sea with P&O Cruises, these 2027/28 World Cruises promise a seamless blend of discovery, culture, and comfort. And the best part? They’re launching this week with exclusive early-access offers available when you book through Hays Travel.

But before you secure your place, take a look at a few of the standout destinations that make these itineraries truly world-class.

Few cities make an entrance quite like Sydney. From the sail-shaped splendour of the Opera House to the sweeping arc of Bondi Beach, this harbour city glows with energy and sunshine. With P&O Cruises, you can see it from every angle, stroll through The Rocks where colonial charm meets café culture, or take in panoramic views from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. For something truly special, venture beyond the city on a guided tour to the Blue Mountains, where eucalyptus forests and vast sandstone cliffs stretch as far as the eye can see. Sydney doesn’t just sparkle, it stays with you.

A world within a city, Singapore blends centuries of tradition with cutting-edge style. Skyline gardens brush the clouds, hawker stalls tempt with sizzling street food, and every neighbourhood hums with its own rhythm. P&O Cruises excursions let you experience the contrasts, from the futuristic domes of Gardens by the Bay to the colonial grandeur of Raffles Hotel. Drift along the Singapore River on a classic bumboat cruise, then lose yourself in the scents and colours of Little India or Chinatown. Compact yet endlessly captivating, Singapore is Asia in miniature, colourful, modern, and effortlessly magnetic.

Crowned by the Golden Gate Bridge and laced with rolling hills, San Francisco is a city of character and charm. Watch the morning mist drift across the bay, ride the famous cable cars through steep streets, or wander the bustling piers of Fisherman’s Wharf. With a P&O world cruise, you can explore beyond the icons, perhaps a journey to Napa Valley’s sunlit vineyards or across the water to artistic Sausalito. Every corner tells a story here, from bohemian Haight-Ashbury to the sea breeze of the Marina District. San Francisco isn’t just a stop, it’s a state of mind.

Set between two glittering harbours, Auckland is a city that lives and breathes adventure. Its skyline rises above volcanic peaks, its coastline ripples with beaches, and its islands beckon just offshore. P&O Cruises excursions open the door to both nature and culture, sail across the bay to Waiheke Island for world-class wine tasting, or learn the legends of Maori heritage woven through the city. Take in panoramic views from Mount Eden or simply savour the laid-back energy of the waterfront. In Auckland, the spirit of New Zealand shines bright, wild, and unforgettable.
