P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said in the statement: “This year’s Wave season has surpassed all expectations with record-breaking days throughout the period. It’s particularly encouraging to see that guests who are new to cruising are recognising the excellent value for money, fantastic destinations and unique experience on a P&O Cruises holiday.”
