It’s not every day an aged punk rocker saunters across the dance floor of a cruise ship bar as an elderly gentleman sits on a walker, belting out a pretty decent version of Human by The Killers. But this is no ordinary sailing.
I stepped aboard P&O Cruises flagship Britannia for a few days in June as part of its 10th-anniversary cruise to find out how one of the brand’s oldest ships retains its appeal. In an industry racing toward ever larger, glitzier mega-ships, it felt oddly refreshing to celebrate a ship that’s just trying to be a cruise ship.
