P&O Cruises Launches Competition To Name New Flagship

P&O Cruises has launched a competition to name their brand new cruise ship which isn’t due to set sail until 2020. The giant new 180,000 cruise ship will become the new flagship of the P&O Cruises fleet and will be capable of carrying some 5,200 passengers.
 
The yet-to-be-named cruise ship will offer more choice of accommodations, more places to eat, more space relax, more entertainment options and more freedom that ever before! ​Furthermore, the new ship will also be the most environmentally friendly and efficient ship that P&O Cruises have built.

Entries for the competition can be made on the P&O Cruises website here. Entries must be made before the closing date of 31 July 2017.
 
Paul Ludlow, Senior Vice President, P&O Cruises, said: “It is incredibly important that we have a name that reflects the ship’s heritage as well as highlighting the array of new cruising experiences it will offer – something memorable and dignified that reflects its position as the new star in our fleet. I encourage the general public to get their thinking caps on but also to remember that naming a ship is akin to naming a child. The name is an inherent part of its personality and is something that will sail with it for life!”
The winning name will be chosen by a panel of judges, with the name for the new P&O Cruises flagship being officially announced early in 2018.
 
The winner will receive a money can’t buy prize and become part of history, as well as an invitation for two VIP places at the naming ceremony of the ship in Spring 2020.
