Bonjour P&O Pioneer
Let’s take a closer look at one of the two new hybrid ferry ships, the P&O Pioneer. This ship is the first in the world to be designed with a hybrid diesel-electric power plant, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than traditional vessels.
On top of its eco-friendly technology, the P&O Pioneer also has new and exciting features and amenities for passengers to enjoy during their journey onboard.
One of the highlights is the modern food court, offering a wide range of delicious meals and snacks to suit all tastes and dietary requirements. From fresh salads to hearty burgers, there’s something for everyone!
Passengers can also relax in one of the spacious lounges, each with their own unique setting and atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to read a book or a lively place to socialise with friends and family, the new ship features lounges to suit all needs.
Enchanté P&O Liberté
The second of our new hybrid ferry ships is the P&O Liberté. This ship is also equipped with state-of-the-art hybrid diesel-electric power technology, ensuring a more sustainable and efficient travel experience.
As with the P&O Pioneer, the P&O Liberté features a range of exciting facilities and amenities for passengers to enjoy. One of the highlights is the onboard food market, offering a variety of “grab and go” options and tea, coffee, and snacks. For those looking for a more social experience, there are barista-style seating areas too.
The P&O Liberté also offers several lounge areas for passengers to relax and unwind. The main lounge provides an elegant and comfortable environment to enjoy a coffee or a cocktail, while quieter lounges offer a tranquil space for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the ship. USB ports are available throughout the lounges so you can recharge your devices on the go.
Brand new from 2022, the P&O Liberté features an onboard pet lounge, providing maximum comfort for your furry friends during the crossing. And for those looking to indulge in a little retail therapy, our P&O onboard shopping should do the trick! The new ship also offers a World Duty-Free store, featuring an array of branded products at up to 50% off high street prices.
