P&O Cruises introduces new wifi packages across fleet

P&O Cruises has introduced new, less expensive wifi packages for passengers sailing onboard all of its ships.

Forming part of P&O Cruises Stay Connected service, the new satellite internet packages give guests 24/7 internet access via their own smart devices, or the onboard computers. Packages can be purchased on a day-by-day or whole-cruise basis, with the opportunity to upgrade between packages at any time.

Guests choosing the Connect Package will pay £7.75 for 24 hrs and have access to online messaging and social media, whereas those paying £12.50 per day for the Browse Package will benefit from web browsing, e-mail, online messaging and social media. Those who opt for the Works package, which is £24.95 for 24 hours, will be able to stream YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, make video calls, browse the internet, access e-mail and social media networks.

“People are used to accessing anything at a touch of a button or swipe of a screen 24/7 and this doesn’t change just because they are on holiday,” said Paul Ludlow, P&O Cruises senior vice president. “We’ve listened to feedback and have invested significantly in the service to offer packages which are not only great value but also flexible. Guests can now choose a package which works best for them based on their needs and how they normally use the internet. Guests can purchase satellite internet credit before they sail or purchase their package at any time during the cruise.”
