A
nother new ship. Some may ask “what is the significance”? as there have been lots of new ships in recent years. But Britannia is different, Britannia is dedicated to the British market, Britannia is a game-changer. I was honoured to attend the handover ceremony for Britannia last Sunday at the Fincanteiri shipyard in Trieste, Italy. The group of just 40 visitors from the UK included celebrity chefs, journalists, PR Managers, interior designers, bloggers and photographers as well as the ‘top-brass’ from P&O. We joined the mainly Italian audience and were treated to an event that started with a thorough guided tour of the ship conducted by the ships skipper Captain Paul Brown.
Before our world-class lunch, we witnessed the formal theatre based traditional handover ceremony that included the exchange of flags, in which the shipyard flag is taken down and the P&O Cruises flag is flown. This is the fifth time Fincanteiri have handed over a new ship to P&O. David Dingle the chairman of Carnival UK and the head of Fincanteiri Shipbuilders delivered speeches explaining the business significance whilst the political importance was formally acknowledged by the Italian finance minister. My favourite moment came when Captain Brown revealed his heartfelt pride to be the recipient of such a magnificent vessel. David Dingle also revealed that Britannia is the largest cruise ship ever designed specifically for the British holiday market, becoming part of the plan to grow the UK market to two million cruise holidaymakers per annum. My view is that this is not just another big shiny new ship. This is a gamechanging, unique, beautifully elegant masterpiece of design and engineering.

MARCH ‘PICK OF THE PORTS’ Athens, Greece People from all over the world clamour to get a look and a feel el of Athens. Having honeymooned in Athens, I recently returned d after a thirty year gap. A day stop call into Piraeus is perfect with just a twenty minute ride and a 15e fare linking the port to the centre of Athens. A day in Athens is for most, the best and most fulfilling day of their cruise holiday. Set against a backdrop of warm temperatures and sunny skies are some of the most inspiring historic and artistic sights on the globe. The Acropolis, the home to the 2400 year old Parthenon is the justifiable and obvious top choice for most visitors. There are many other priceless attractions in Athens that mean it is a city worth seeing more than once, so don’t be put off an itinerary because you have ‘done’ Athens before. As a contrast to abundance of historic grandeur is the quaint world heritage site, The Plaka District which contains an interesting collection of vibrant cafes, antique shops and characterful architecture. Seeing much of Athens on foot is easy and convenient. The Kolonaki District neighbours Plaka to its northeast corner. This is where shoppers find classy boutiques, galleries and a variety of restaurants. Nearby is my other ‘must see in a day attraction’, Syntagma Square is home to the wonderful neoclassical parliament building and the sight of the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. These guards are the famous soldiers that sport frilly skirts, highly decorated waistcoats whist performing high-kicks in their bobbled shoes.
Must See
Of course, yo u should vi st the Acrop home to th olis, e 2400 year old Parthen on. The Arcopol is Museum is a top attr housing an action, cient statues and exhibit s. Mt. Lycabet tu s, ta ke the funic tramway to ular the top of th e hill for th e best views of Ath ens.
I am a sports fan and I love stadiums so I made my way to the 1896 Olympic Stadium, just to see it again and one day I will go out of my way to see it yet again. I love Athens.

WHERE WILL YOUR CRUISE TAKE YOU? Manila, Philippines It’s More Fun In The Philippines. This is the sign that welcomes you at Manila airport and there is no better phrase to describe this beautiful diverse country. The Philippines has so much to offer and it really is one of my favourite destinations within Asia. The country is relatively small and is made up of 7107 individual islands all with their own unique character. The capital, Manila is a high-speed, booming Asian metropolis boasting some of the best shopping in Asia. Here you will find the SM Megamall which is the 7th biggest shopping mall in the world. So if shopping is your thing, you must head there to grab a bargain or two. My personal favourite area of Manila is Makati, this is a modern development packed with luxury hotels and offers brilliant nightlife. The Greenbelt shopping area is a popular hangout for families with a large range of family friendly restaurants. The British pound goes a long way in the Philippines. Eating out is very reasonable and the choice is fantastic. Manila is also home to the world’s oldest Chinatown, with a huge Chinese population, hundreds of eateries and shops. Don’t miss the brightly decorated fire engines, with unique Chinese advertising.
