P&O Ferries has announced a number of special music themed mini cruises on its North Sea sailings, with groups able to book onto a range of different voyages.
It will be running four themed trips at the end of this year, with the cruises based on musical eras, actual musicals and some of the world’s most well-known musicians.
The sailings will depart from Hull in Yorkshire, cruising Holland, with each journey either on board the Pride of Hull or the Pride of Rotterdam.
Sarah Rosier, director of Passenger Sales for P&O Ferries, said: “We’re thrilled to unveil our calendar of themed mini cruises, bringing new events, as well as old favourites to the North Sea throughout winter 2019, following their success in previous years.
“The holiday starts the moment you get on board and we encourage fans to book early to avoid disappointment.”
