Check out the latest & coolest place for Christmas parties!


The latest and coolest place for Christmas parties is onboard a P&O Cruises ship! Over the weekend Aurora was the venue for not one but two travel agent Christmas parties.
1st4cruising and cruise.co.uk both decided to take their staff onboard Aurora for a 2-night party cruise.


The ship set sail for Bruges at 17:00 on Friday evening, 1st4cruising had sailaway drinks in the Crows Nest, where we decided to Award the person that was most passionate and enthusiastic about our individual brands - P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Cunard and Ocean Village. These winners were awarded with a nice bottle of Champagne.
Both parties were on 1st sitting at 18:30, so after a few cheeky glasses of champagne we made our way to dinner and enjoyed a fantastic 6-course meal. After dinner people either headed straight to Champions for a few drinks and Karaoke or off to the Curzon Theatre to watch Aladdin.



The night was still young and with the majority of both parties heading to Masquerades, to dance the night away and most of the early hours as the last to bed was at 5:30!


Those that decided to brave the freezing cold weather and head off to Bruges came back bearing chocolates and beer, for those that didn't caught up on sleep and some even got pampered in the Spa!


At 17:15 Cruise.co.uk held their Awards for their staff and Cunard even won a prize for 'Overall Favourite Cruise Line to do business with'. With another 6 course meal and a few Vodka and Red Bulls everyone was up for another late night. with everyone heading either straight to a bar or to watch Frank Carson in the Curzon Theatre.

Looking around the ship on Sunday morning during disembarkation everyone looked very tired and I am sure they all had a Christmas party they wont forget!
