Adonia is going

P&O confirmed today (26 Sept 2017)

We can now confirm that small ship Adonia will be leaving the fleet next year.

The sale will be completed in March 2018 and Adonia's last cruise as a P&O Cruise...s ship will be D804 leaving Barbados on February 23 and ending in Barbados on March 9, 2018.

Guests booked on any Adonia cruises after March 2018 will be contacted directly either by P&O Cruises or their travel agent in the next few days.

We know this has been the subject of much speculation but as we are sure you can appreciate we were unable to confirm anything until an agreement was in place.

During her time with us Adonia has captured the hearts of many thousands of P&O Cruises guests. She has ventured into new ports of call around the globe and has negotiated Icelandic Fjords, European rivers and Caribbean coves. We will be making sure that these discovery itineraries are continued on other ships in the fleet.

With almost six months until Adonia leaves the fleet, we will ensure that each of the cruises in her final season with us are extra special and celebratory.

Azamara have just announced a new ship, Azamara Pursuit.

But where is she going ?

But where is she going ?

To become Azamara Pursuit.

As Haworth has said, looks like Azamara

This is from their website

Such a shame!

I'm booked on her in April. Looks like I'm not going now. :(

Booked D812, luckily we hadnt booked flights from Australia, that was happening this week, ohh its so sad, was hoping it was all just rumours. Hopefully we are all offered some sort of compensation or incentive, that will decide if its another P&O cruise we book or another company. The cruises have gone from their web site now :loudcry::loudcry::loudcry:

Very backward step sadly from P&O. The size of Adonia was ideal for out of the way ports, Seville among others, this means Oriana becomes the smallest vessel in the fleet at 69,000GRT. Can you honestly say she will creep into narrow sounds and boutique ports around the globe?

Was really looking forward to sailing on her again for the TA in October 2018. Should have swapped our Britannia TA this year to Adonia when we heard she was coming back. Hope we are well compensated with an incentive to re book with P&O. Already looking at Viking now though

I really feel for anyone affected by this. I think it is unfair that P&O have been giving quasi assurance to passengers when they were aware that the ship was going.

I hope that they are generous to those affected, particulalry anyone who has flights and hotels etc purchased to get to cruises that are now cancelled.

We have been offered £100.00 on board spend but have to rebook by 27th 0ctober .Phil we are the same should have booked transatlantic this year but so wanted to do Bordeaux and Seville March 2018.Fred Olsen are doing it ,but with our P&O loyalty scheme it makes sense to cruise with them .

Hi, was that obc that you've been offered? as I read it's £100 future cruise credit not Onboard Credit.

It will be interesting to see what they offer us as we already had £1000 obc for Adonia next September. If the are going to mess us about that will be that end after many, many P&O cruises.

Just read the P&O terms and conditions and it would appear that P&O do not have to give any compensation for cancellations that take place more than 90 days from when you are informed about it. As our cruise is next September that means nothing for us except a refund. Are we surprised ....no not really!!

They will struggle to get P & O Britannia or the new P & O Bigbertha in any Caribbean Cove or European river.

Us too. We have a large amount of onboard credit for our April cruise. I think it's wave goodbye to that.

Just looked through my July 17 to March 19 brochure: P & 0 are cancelling 38 cruises.

£100.00 OBC ,but a letter will come out in the next few days with all details .

We had enough OBC for our March cruise

We used to cruise with P&O and our last really good cruise was on Adonia to the Norwegian Fjords in 2012. It was excellent.

A subsequent trip on Oriana put us right off P&O and we have since cruised with Azamara so delighted that Adonia will be joining the Quest & Journey as Azamara Pursuit. :D

I think some of the lines that offer these coves and rivers will do very well out of this. People may not rebook with P&O and if they try another company and like it then they may never return.

Did you propose Bigbertha as the name for the new ship then, wonder if they will select that one, it's certainly memorable and ends in the ubiquitous "a" 😉

Nah, they'll call it Adonia, now that names been freed up..!!!

We have been offered £100pp off a future cruise,

(future cruise credit ) not OBC. offer available for 2 years.

So that's our October 2018 cancelled. Such a pity.

Is that all they are offering £100 off another cruise. We were booked for May but haven't heard anything off them yet?

That is what they offered us today even though they have had £1500 deposit from us since May.
