Caribbean fly-cruises

Overview

The Caribbean epitomises idyllic holidays: white sand, crystal-clear waters and swaying palm trees. But there’s plenty more to see beyond the blissful beachfronts. You can hike to a volcanic summit, sip rum as you explore a historic distillery or trace the steps of the Arawak Indians… On a P&O Cruises holiday, you can get to the heart of each colourful island. Swim with sea turtles, zip-wire through a tropical rainforest, explore colourful colonial plazas or simply relax in a swinging hammock under those clear blue skies. Beyond the blissful beaches and laid-back cocktail vibes, you’ll have the chance to mix things up at each idyllic island you visit.

Introducing our Caribbean flight partners

Getting your holiday off to a flying start is so important to us, so you can relax and enjoy travelling to your ship.

​Whichever airline you fly with, you’ll receive a consistent and dedicated in-flight service exclusively for P&O Cruises guests. Your chartered flights will include hold luggage allowance of at least 23kg per person as well as 10kg of hand baggage and a small carry-on item, in-flight entertainment, a minimum of two complimentary drinks, a bottle of water and a main meal, with a lighter second meal on some flights. ​

​You’ll also enjoy our bonded baggage service, which makes flying hassle-free.

Bonded baggage for hassle-free flying

Once you’ve dropped your bags at the UK airport, you can relax and travel light. After landing in the Caribbean, you’ll be whisked straight from your plane to your ship (no need to go through immigration) and your luggage will be delivered to your cabin. The night before you fly home, your bags will be collected from outside your cabin, and you’ll find them waiting for you at the UK airport when you land. It couldn’t be simpler.

On other fly-cruise holidays, you will need to collect your luggage from the baggage reclaim area.
