P and O's largest and newest vessel will enter service in 2015 and will be structurally identical to two Princess Cruise Ships that are currently on order by their mutual parent company Carnival. That is where the similarity's end. The new ship, lets refer to her as Ship X, is being designed to be very different from the Princess ships in terms of cabin layout and public rooms. In P and O's very words, it will have some new sophisticated ‘wows’ and new elements we think British customers will want!
Ship X, which will be the largest cruise ship ever built for the UK market, will be designed to meet the expectations of passengers in line with customer research. I would have to say though, when doing market research for a name, Ship X will probably not be high on the list, not the most inventive as it does not sound very ship like, my money is on Athena.
Ship X will be positioned between P and O's two existing super liners, Ventura, which is aimed at the family market, and Azura, which is positioned for the more traditional P&O client. As of now there are no plans to retire older ships when the new vessel enters service, so good news for all you past passengers.
Its only a matter of time now until the ship name is announced, so if Ship X or Athena are chosen, you heard it here first!
