P&O Cruises confirmed TUI Airways, Norse Atlantic Airways and Virgin Atlantic as airline partners for its winter 2026-27 Caribbean fly-cruise season.
“For our fly-cruise guests, their holiday begins at the airport, so getting the flight experience right really matters to us,” said Paul Ludlow, president of Carnival UK and P&O Cruises.
“That’s why we’re delighted to be continuing our long-standing relationships with TUI, Norse Atlantic, and Virgin Atlantic.”
Between October 2026 and March 2027, Norse Atlantic will operate Saturday flights from Manchester and London Gatwick to Antigua on selected departure dates, according to the company.
Norse Atlantic will also offer flights to Barbados from London Gatwick, Manchester and regional flights from Cardiff, Glasgow and Newcastle on selected departure dates.
TUI Airways will operate Friday and Saturday flights to Barbados from London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester.
TUI Airways will also offer regional flights from Belfast, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow and Newcastle on selected departure dates.
Both TUI Airways and Norse Atlantic operate Boeing 787 Dreamliners with economy and premium economy cabins.
Virgin Atlantic will operate an Airbus A330 whole plane charter in a three-class configuration from Manchester every 14 days for Arvia’s guests joining in Barbados on a Friday.
All guests flying on the three airlines will receive a choice of economy or premium economy, plus upper class with Virgin Atlantic.
Additional amenities include luggage allowance of 23kg, in-flight entertainment, complimentary drink and meal service, and bonded baggage service.
Prices for Arvia’s 14-night Eastern Caribbean Islands fly-cruise currently start from £1,659 per person based on two people sharing an inside cabin.
