This is less of a holiday and more of a proper adventure. Goose rather likes the idea of leaving Southampton in January, spending 75 nights cruising through the Caribbean and the Americas, then sailing all the way home again without setting foot on a plane.

Aurora heads south from Southampton before crossing the Atlantic and embarking on a huge itinerary through the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and the southern United States.

Along the way, the voyage includes destinations such as Madeira, Antigua, Curaçao, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados and the Bahamas, alongside calls in the United States and a partial transit of the Panama Canal.

There are also longer stops built into the itinerary, giving you more time to experience certain destinations rather than simply stepping ashore for a few hours.

Aurora is one of P&O Cruises’ adults-only ships, with a more traditional and relaxed atmosphere that suits a voyage of this length particularly well.

And with plenty of sea days between destinations, there’s time to actually enjoy life onboard rather than treating the ship as simply a way of getting from one port to another.

Good to know

A trip lasting 75 nights has a lot more moving parts than an ordinary cruise, and that’s exactly where our full concierge service comes into its own.

We’ll check the latest live fare and any promotional offers, confirm the exact cabin and fare conditions, work through the itinerary with you and make sure all the practical details are properly coordinated before anything is booked.

We can also arrange travel to Southampton, pre-cruise accommodation, private transfers, parking, cabin upgrades, drinks packages, excursions, insurance support and any other extras you’d like to add.

For a journey this big, you shouldn’t have to piece everything together yourself. We’ll take care of the details and build the whole experience around you.
