Itinerary Changes Announced: What It Means for Cruises K708 and N603

Sometimes cruise itineraries need to be adjusted, and unfortunately that does mean changes for a couple of upcoming P&O Cruises sailings. Here’s everything you need to know if you were booked on K708 or N603.

Cruise K708 – April 2027

This one has had quite a shake-up. The original itinerary for P&O Arvia K708 has been cancelled altogether, but P&O are putting new sailings on sale so guests can still travel on their chosen dates.

• Two new 7-night cruises will go on sale from 8.30am on 18 September 2025.

• 11 April 2027 – Norwegian Fjords

• 18 April 2027 – Spain & France

• You can also combine both for a 14-night holiday, perfect if you’d rather extend your trip.

All current bookings for K708 will be cancelled and refunded (including any pre-purchased extras) within 14 days.

As a goodwill gesture, the first two guests in each cabin will receive £50 per person on-board spending money if they book an alternative holiday by 24 October 2025.

Cruise N603 – February 2026

Ventura was due to sail on holiday N603 (departing 23 February 2026), but this has now been cancelled due to the ship’s refit being extended.

• Bookings will be cancelled and refunded (including pre-purchased extras) within 14 days.

• Guests will be offered £25 per person on-board spending money (first two guests per cabin) if they rebook another holiday by 24 October 2025.
