TO  THE  SUN — FROM  £287  TO  £2550 

 

Steal the time —  from 66 to 131 days — and you can actually revel in the magic of a P & O – Orient Winter Round Voyage for much the same as it costs to stay at home !

 

Prices vary enormously.   For example, £287 could buy a Tourist berth;  £315 a berth in a one-class liner.   £2550 entitles you to the glory of a first-class suite !  There’s a host of in-between prices.   But whatever you pay you visit fabulous, faraway places.   You bask in glorious sun.   You inhale salt sea airs.   Your ship is air-conditioned throughout.

   You’ll agree – a P & O – Orient round voyage is sheer magic !
