P&O Cruises To Fly Direct From Belfast To Barbados
A new direct flight from Belfast to Barbados has been announced by P&O Cruises.
A fourteen-night fly-cruise to Barbados, on board the new ship Britannia, has been confirmed for 03 February 2018.
The fourteen-night itinerary starts in Bridgetown before departing for the paradise islands of Curacao and Aruba. Sailing on over azure oceans, travellers will spend a day in Grenada with its waterfalls and rainforests, before moving on to St Vincent and St Lucia. After the paradise islands of Tortola and St Kitts, it's on to stunning Antigua, where St John's offers world-class retail therapy, while also being close to some of the best beaches, at Fort James, Deep Bay, Galley Bay and Hawksbill.
Graham Keddie, MD at Belfast International Airport, said: "It has always been our goal to deliver destinations that local travellers want to visit direct from their local airport. We are thrilled that P&O Cruises has added Belfast as a departure point for their Caribbean cruises. We are confident that this will be a popular addition for holidaymakers and we look forward to working with P&O Cruises to add more services."
