Historical Legacy
P&O Cruises traces its origins to September 1, 1837, when Arthur Anderson and Brodie McGhie Wilcox, founders of the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, were awarded a British Government contract to carry mail from London to the Iberian Peninsula. This marked the beginning of a journey that would revolutionize sea travel.
