P&O Cruises is giving event organisers and delegates the opportunity to share a few laughs together with a record number of three-and-four-night comedy cruises in 2018 and 2019. Well-known names Jimeoin, Harley Breen, Claire Hooper and Matt Okine are just some of the 70 comedians who will headline a total of 72 dedicated comedy cruises between now and December next year.
From April 8, 2019, Aurora will join Arcadia and Oriana as a ship exclusively for adults, offering a relaxed way of life, stylish surroundings and a variety of bars and lounges for socialising.
