P&O Cruises has formally kicked-off its new charter flight partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways.
This past week saw the first charter flight fly more than 300 P&O passengers from Manchester to Barbados to join the company’s Britannia cruise ship for a 14-night cruise around the Caribbean.
Carnival UK & P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “We are immensely proud to see the first charter flight with Norse Atlantic Airways take off, marking the start of our winter Caribbean season. We know flights play a key role in the overall holiday experience, which is why we chose to partner with Norse, alongside TUI Airways and Virgin Atlantic for our charter offering. These partnerships underpin our commitment to ensuring our guests receive a consistently high level of service across all elements of their P&O Cruises holiday.”
CEO and founder of Norse Atlantic Airways Bjørn Tore Larsen said: “We are excited to start this journey with P&O Cruises, connecting UK travellers to stunning Caribbean destinations. Our commitment to quality and affordability aligns perfectly with P&O Cruises promise of an unforgettable holiday, and we’re delighted to offer passengers comfortable, direct flights that make their travel as enjoyable as their time on the islands.”
Between November ’24 and March ’25 Norse Atlantic will operate a weekly Friday flight from Manchester to Barbados to meet P&O Cruises Arvia and Britannia. Additionally, it will operate Saturday flights from London Gatwick and Manchester to Antigua/Barbados (alternating weeks).
