P&O Cruises has operated its first charter flight with Norse Airways, which departed Manchester Airport on Friday, 1 November. This flight transported over 300 guests to Barbados, where they joined other passengers on board Britannia for a 14-night cruise in the Caribbean.
From November 2024 to March 2025, Norse Atlantic will facilitate weekly flights every Friday from Manchester to Barbados, servicing cruises on board both Arvia and Britannia. Additionally, the airline will offer flights on Saturdays from London Gatwick and Manchester to either Antigua or Barbados on alternate weeks.
Carnival UK & P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “We are immensely proud to see the first charter flight with Norse Atlantic Airways take off, marking the start of our winter Caribbean season. We know flights play a key role in the overall holiday experience, which is why we chose to partner with Norse, alongside TUI Airways and Virgin Atlantic for our charter offering. These partnerships underpin our commitment to ensuring our guests receive a consistently high level of service across all elements of their P&O Cruises holiday.”
Norse Atlantic Airways’ Boeing 787 Dreamliner, known for its modern in-flight entertainment and spacious seating, boasts a 43-inch seat pitch and a 12-inch recline, setting the industry standard.
Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO and founder of Norse Atlantic Airways, added: “We are excited to start this journey with P&O Cruises, connecting UK travellers to stunning Caribbean destinations. Our commitment to quality and affordability aligns perfectly with P&O Cruises promise of an unforgettable holiday, and we’re delighted to offer passengers comfortable, direct flights that make their travel as enjoyable as their time on the islands.”
