Britannia

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. Britannia is best planned by matching the itinerary with the ship's dining rhythm, cabin choices, and sea-day pace. Before booking Britannia, compare what P&O Cruises includes in the fare with the extras you actually expect to use on board.

Britannia suits travelers who want a P&O Cruises sailing with enough structure to compare cabins, onboard rhythm, and itinerary fit before booking. It is also useful for cruisers who prefer to plan port days and ship days together instead of treating the vessel as only transportation. Couples prioritizing dining variety and evening shows often mesh well with Britannia, especially on port-light itineraries.
