The R202 Aurora Caribbean Transatlantic Cruise in April 2012 is the first cruise for P&O Cruises Aurora after her return from her grueling 98 night World Cruise.

This cruise will not be suitable for everybody due to a high number of days at sea; after all you only get to see 7 ports in 6 countries during this 22 night cruise.

As is the case with many P&O Cruises, a few cabins, especially the bigger ones, are selling out already; do book early if you are thinking of going on this cruise.

The cruise itself depart from Southampton and sails to Ponta Delgada. After a day on this Atlantic island the next five ports are in the Caribbean; Antigua; Tortola; St Maarten; St Lucia & Barbados. The final destination on the R202 Aurora Caribbean Transatlantic cruise is another Atlantic Island; Madeira.

The R201 Aurora 2012 World Cruise is one of 3 world cruises being organised by P&O Cruises; all starting in January 2012. This cruise operates in the reverse direction to that of Arcadia’s J201 World Cruise and visits different ports of call on the way.

After visiting a few Caribbean Islands, Aurora cruises through the Panama Canal before reaching Acapulco in Mexico and San Francisco. The journey continues onto Hawaii before arriving in Australasia where highlights include Auckland & Sydney.

The return section of the R201 Aurora 2012 World Cruise takes in places in the Far East including Bali, Singapore and Mumbai. After this comes the Emirates and Egypt before the final leg of visits to Mediterranean ports and disembarkation in Southampton. In all, the R201 Aurora 2012 World Cruise visits 41 ports in 28 countries.
