Speaking ahead of the line's 2028 summer programme release on Tuesday (21 April), Venn, associate vice-president, sales and distribution, said P&O Cruises' Caribbean and Norwegian Fjord sailings have been particularly popular with new-to-cruise customers in recent years.

The programme's highlights include 26 three-country cruise combination sailings on Arvia to try and "capture" the new-to-cruise market.  The 14-day sailings combine Spain and France with the Norwegian Fjords.
