With many offers available on winter sun destinations, P&O Cruises Local Food Heroes Shivi Ramoutar, José Pizarro and Food Hero Olly Smith have revealed some of their favourite beach getaways for sun, sand and sampling the local delicacies.

  • A discount of £100 per person is now available on Arvia departures between December 9, 2022 and September 29, 2024. The offer is available on new Select Price or Early Saver bookings made by November 30, 2022*

Extra on board spending money

Local Food Hero and queen of contemporary Caribbean cooking Shivi Ramoutar said: “Every Caribbean island has its own unique beaches, food and culture but Rockley Beach in Barbados really stands out from the pack. The coastline is home to a huge array of marine life and seafood which means the local restaurants offer the freshest Bajan delicacies while guests get to soak their toes in to the beach’s soft white sand.”

Local Food Hero José Pizarro said, “Playa del Orzan in La Coruña offers the perfect escape from the city while remaining close to its vibrant food scene. Visitors can sunbathe or surf on the beautiful stretch of sand before heading into town to sample the city’s delicious local tapas or traditional Galician dishes.”

Food Hero Olly Smith commented: “For a top-notch rum punch with stunning sea views, you can’t beat Fort James Beach in Antigua. The combination of locally distilled rum and plenty of nutmeg is the perfect accompaniment while laying back and enjoying the stunning turquoise water and warmth of the Caribbean sea.”
