The image of Britannia is the national personification of Britain, traditionally depicted as a helmeted female warrior holding a trident and shield. An image first used by the Romans in classical antiquity, the Latin Britannia was the name variously applied to the British Isles, Great Britain, and the Roman province of Britain during the Roman Empire. The Roman Britannia was typically depicted reclining or seated, with not a trident but a spear and shield, appearing on Roman coins of the 2nd century AD.

Use Britannia’s catalog specs—capacity, year, and class—to judge whether the ship matches your itinerary length and travel party. Cabin location, dining reservations, and show times are published by P&O Cruises for each sailing; confirm those on your booking rather than assuming sister ships are identical. SeaDays helps you keep port days, sea days, and notes for Britannia in one place so planning stays with the voyage instead of scattered screenshots.
