P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruises 2028

P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruises 2028 — What’s on Offer?

Cruises to the Norwegian fjords with P&O Cruises in 2028 depart exclusively from Southampton, making them one of the most accessible fjord holidays available to British travellers. Every sailing is a round trip, so you leave from Southampton and return to Southampton — no one-way logistics to worry about, and no flight required at either end. Trips range from 7 to 21 nights, with a median of 14 nights, giving you options whether you want a focused fortnight or a longer, more immersive voyage through Norway.

Where Do These Sailings Go?

The vast majority of P&O’s 2028 fjords sailings focus on Norway, where the scenery changes dramatically as you head north — from the broad, gentler waterways of the south to the towering, narrow passages further along the coast. This is the core of what P&O does so well in this part of the world: unhurried sailing through landscapes that have to be seen from the water to be properly understood.

A small number of sailings push further into the Arctic, for those who want to go beyond the familiar fjord routes and reach waters that feel genuinely remote. One sailing covers the English coast, ideal if you prefer a shorter taster before committing to a longer northern voyage.

For a broader look at what is sailing from the same port in 2028, the Norway 2028 cruises from Southampton page covers all lines, not just P&O. If you are weighing up other destinations from Southampton in the same year, all 2028 cruises from Southampton gives you the full picture.

Which Ships Sail the Norwegian Fjords for P&O in 2028?

P&O deploys five ships on this route in 2028. Here is what each one offers, so you can match the ship to the kind of holiday you have in mind.

Arvia

Arvia carries by far the most sailings on this route and for good reason. Launched in 2022, she is P&O’s newest and largest ship — the biggest ever built specifically for the British market, christened by Nicole Scherzinger. The signature feature is the SkyDome: a retractable performance stage set beneath 970 m² of glass above a swimming pool, a venue that does not exist anywhere else at sea. When you are not watching the fjords slide past from an open deck, you have more than 30 dining and bar venues to choose from, including Sindhu, The Epicurean, The Glass House, and the Keel & Cow gastropub.

Cabin grades on Arvia — see the Arvia cabins and deck plans for the full layout:

• Larger Inside Cabin OA — 15 m², sleeps 2. More floor space than the standard inside grades; a practical choice for those who spend most of their time on deck or out in port.
• Suite B4 — 40.3 m², sleeps 4. Approximately 40–49 m² of living space — dramatically more room than any balcony or sea-view cabin.
• Deluxe Balcony Cabin EA — 20 m², sleeps 2. Your own outdoor space for fresh sea air and fjord views, away from the shared decks that inside cabins cannot offer.
• Family Sea View Suite BA — 40.3 m², sleeps 2. A private balcony available only in suite grades — ideal if outdoor space matters to you and you want it to yourselves.

Aurora

Aurora is a mid-sized, classic ship with a distinctly British character. She suits guests who prefer a more traditional pace — fewer queues, quieter public spaces, and the kind of atmosphere where the scenery, rather than the ship, is the main event. Sailing straight from Southampton, she puts you at sea quickly without any of the complexity of a fly-cruise. See the Aurora cabins and deck plans for details on layout and grades.

Cabin grades on Aurora:

• Larger Inside Cabin OA — 16 m², sleeps 2. Around 2 m² more floor space than the standard inside cabins — a small difference that feels noticeable over a 14-night voyage.
• Larger Sea View Cabin KB — 16 m², sleeps 2. Natural light and a sea view at 16 m², without paying suite prices.
• Deluxe Balcony Cabin EA — 23 m², sleeps 2. Noticeably more floor space than entry-level balcony cabins, with private outdoor space for fjord views.
• Suite B1 — 48 m², sleeps 3. Includes dedicated butler service — personalised in-suite attention not available in any balcony or sea-view grade.

Iona

Iona is the largest ship sailing year-round from Southampton, accommodating up to 5,200 guests. Like Arvia, she features the iconic SkyDome — the same 970 m² retractable glass dome above a swimming pool — which on a Norwegian fjords sailing becomes a genuinely spectacular vantage point when the ship is threading through narrow waterways. With 18 venues on board, including Anderson’s gin bar, Sindhu, The Epicurean, and The Chef’s Table, Iona is built for guests who want a wide variety of dining and socialising options across a longer voyage. Check the Iona cabins and deck plans before you choose your grade.

Cabin grades on Iona:

• Larger Inside Cabin OA — 17 m², sleeps 2. One of the roomier inside options on the ship; more space than the standard grades if comfort over a longer sailing matters.
• Sea View Cabin LB — 19.5 m², sleeps 2. Natural light and an unobstructed sea view — a meaningful step up from inside cabins when you are passing through the fjords.
• Balcony Cabin GB — 17.7 m², sleeps 2. The roomiest of the standard balcony grades, with roughly 1–2 m² more floor space than comparable balcony variants.
• Suite B4 — 40.3 m², sleeps 2. Dedicated butler service throughout — personalised attention that no balcony or sea-view cabin provides.

Arcadia

Arcadia is an adults-only ship — something worth knowing before you book if you are travelling as a couple and want a quieter atmosphere throughout. She features the three-tier Palladium theatre, Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill restaurant, and an on-board hydrotherapy pool. See the Arcadia cabins and deck plans if you want to explore the layout in detail.

Britannia

Named by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015, Britannia sails year-round from Southampton and has a reputation as the most quintessentially British ship in the fleet. She carries menus from Marco Pierre White, Atul Kochhar, and James Martin across 13 restaurants and cafés, alongside the Headliners Theatre with its LED immersive technology and the Limelight Club cabaret. The Britannia cabins and deck plans page has the full breakdown of grades and layouts.

How Do I Get to Southampton for a P&O Cruise?

Southampton is well connected from most of the UK. You can drive and use one of the port’s dedicated cruise terminal car parks, or travel by rail — the station is close to the terminals and has direct services from London and many regional cities. No flight is needed for any of these sailings, which is one of the genuine advantages of sailing with P&O from a UK home port: you step on board in Britain and step off again in Britain at the end.

If you would like a hotel in Southampton the night before you sail, or transfers from your home to the terminal, Cruise1st can arrange both as part of a Cruise1st Package — so the whole journey is organised in one place, from door to ship and back again.

Are There Discounts on P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruises 2028?

Selected sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade — up to 17% on one departure, though most reduced sailings are closer to 5% off. The discount applies to the cabin grade on that specific sailing, not across the whole cruise price. Fare types vary too: P&O offers a range of pricing structures, so it is worth talking through the options with one of our cruise experts, who can tell you which fare gives you the best value for the cabin and sailing you have in mind.

P&O also runs promotional offers from time to time — fare types such as early-booking incentives and last-minute deals do appear. These change regularly, so the clearest picture is always the one our team can give you directly.

If you want to compare what other lines offer on similar routes, Norwegian fjords cruises 2028 covers all cruise lines sailing the region that year. The all-inclusive Norwegian fjords cruises 2028 page is worth a look if you prefer a single upfront price that includes drinks and dining — though note that all 52 P&O sailings here are on standard fare structures rather than all-inclusive.
