The line will host agents in Belfast on 14 June, Liverpool on 16 June and in Southampton on 20 June, 27 June and 4 July. Britannia and Arcadia will host agents on these scheduled ship visits. 

Additional ship visits will be announced throughout the summer. Agents who join the ship visits will be given a guided tour of the cabins, entertainment venues and dining areas as well as lunch. Each one will give agents opportunities to "experience P&O Cruises fleet first-hand". 

P&O Cruises confirmed more than 1,000 agents will get onboard one of its ships this year with two "Shine at Sea" training experiences also planned for later in the year. 

Agents can find more information and register via the line’s loyalty platform – Shine Rewards Club – and stay up to date with new visit announcements on the P&O Cruises Travel Agent Facebook page. 

P&O Cruises sales director Ruth Venn said: "These visits are a fantastic way for agents to immerse themselves in the P&O Cruises experience, build their product knowledge and share this with their customers. 

"We know the value in first-hand training experiences. Seeing is believing, which is why we’ve made sure to offer ship visits in as many locations as possible."
