Italy yesterday Greece today, it’s a great cruise this one!
I am going to tell you about our Shore Excursions Department onboard today. As you know we have fourteen ports of call this cruise and between them we are offering an incredible 103 Shore Excursions in all, there really is something for everyone! At P&O Cruises we believe in really taking care of our passengers whether it’s on board or in one of the ports and an organised excursion will provide you with peace of mind and the expert knowledge of a local guide.
There are four members in the Shore Excursions Department onboard, Tours Manager Pauline Kuleta, Assistant Tour Managers David Wright and Tim Mathieson and Port Presenter Jackie Edelstein. For each and every port there is a sea day presentation in the Theatre Royal, (these are recorded and then shown again on the Passenger's TV System). The talks are informative, entertaining, honest, and give a real insight as to what our ports of call offer. All of the Shore Excursions feature the history, geographical position and any other relevant facts pertaining to that port.
The Entertainment Department try to assist the Shore Excursions Department in any way it can and our Entertainment Technicians are on hand to make sure all of the technical aspects of the port talks are perfect.
If I was a passenger this cruise one of the excursions I would be booking on is the ‘Hidden Venice Walking Tour’ - what a treat that would be, to be shown all around the narrow streets and back alleyways of Venice by a local guide.

Yet another port tomorrow, the magical walled city of Dubrovnik in Croatia.
See you there!
Bye for now,

Morning Nigel
This cruise sounds wonderful. All my favourite places! Last time we were in Venice we wandered in and out of the streets and alleyways. Stopped every now and again at a little cafe for beverage! I loved it! However being a nervous type person I was worried about wandering too far for fear of not finding my way back. Although I'm sure you can always find your way back to St Marks Square in Venice one way or another!
Enjoy Corfu and watch out for low flying aircraft coming in to land :-)
