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
Your holiday should be smooth sailing even when it starts with a flight, so you can relax and enjoy travelling to your ship. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner again with TUI Airways, Norse Atlantic and Virgin Atlantic for our Caribbean fly-cruises this winter 2026/27 season.
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, 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
On P&O Cruises exclusive Caribbean charter flights, you can drop your bags at the UK airport and not have to think of them again – leaving you to 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.
Where we sail
Sailing on Arvia, Britannia or Iona, you can island-hop between as many as eight glorious destinations on a 14-night holiday. Soak up the sun on one of Antigua’s blissful beaches, discover a world of colourful marine life whilst snorkelling in Barbados’s crystal-clear waters, zipline through the lush rainforests of St Lucia, or explore off the beaten track and immerse yourself in the lively street markets of St Maarten – the choices on a Caribbean holiday are endless. You can even enjoy two full days in Antigua or Barbados on selected sailings, so you’ll have even more time to explore ashore.
And with flights and transfers included in your holiday price, plus our experts on hand from the minute you arrive at the airport to the minute you touch down, the laid-back spirit of the Caribbean is with you every step of the way.
