Cruises offer more than just stunning destinations; they create lasting connections, whether it’s finding love or uniting generations. Stories abound about teenage predictions coming true, work colleagues racing against a cruise ship, and multi-generational family adventures.
Tasha McIntyre, as a teenager, predicted she would meet her future husband on a cruise ship, a prediction that came true five years later when she noticed Aaron at Brodie’s Bar on a Mediterranean holiday. Despite living miles apart, they connected through Facebook and eventually bought a home together in Southampton.
P&O Cruises, the headline partner of the Pride of Britain Awards, celebrates inspiring individuals. Just as Pride of Britain shares stories of courage, P&O Cruises brings people together for unforgettable experiences. In a unique challenge, Sam Cox and colleagues raced on foot against the cruise ship Britannia, raising over £14,000 for charity.
Sarah Harding’s childhood memories of cruising with her nanna inspired a multi-generational trip on Iona to the Norwegian Fjords with her family. Boarding at Southampton was seamless, and their adjoining mini-suites provided comfort and convenience. The trip offered a mix of family activities, from soaring on the Loen Skylift to enjoying the Splashers kids club, creating cherished memories across generations.
