20/10/2025
Ready to unwrap something truly extraordinary for 2027? Picture this: snow-dusted cities twinkling with fairy lights, ancient castles glowing under frosty skies, and steamy mugs of mulled wine in storybook markets. This isn’t just a winter escape; it’s a full-blown Northern Europe fairy tale, and it’s setting sail with P&O Cruises in Winter 2027.
Yes, you read that right. P&O Cruises is launching dedicated Northern Europe Winter cruises in 2027, and the excitement is snowballing (pun very much intended). With handpicked ports of call, immersive excursions, and the cosy luxury of your ship to come back to, this is winter done very differently.
Want to know the best part? These winter sailings are launching this week, and you’ll want to be first in line. Especially when you find out you could be in with the chance to win the cost of your cruise back when you book with Hays Travel!
Before these sparkling itineraries go on general sale, here’s a sneak peek at four unforgettable destinations you can visit, plus why a Winter 2027 cruise with P&O Cruises is set to be your next great adventure.
1. Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen in winter is like stepping inside a Hans Christian Andersen story- fitting, since he was born there! From the colourful buildings of Nyhavn reflected in icy canals to the world-famous Tivoli Gardens lit with thousands of Christmas lights, this city oozes Scandi charm. P&O Cruises’ curated excursions might take you ice-skating in Kongens Nytorv or on a warm, hygge-infused food tour featuring flaky Danish pastries and creamy hot chocolate. Spoiler: you'll never want to leave.
2. Oslo, Norway
There’s something breathtaking about Oslo in winter, the way the fjords freeze at the edges, the air crisp with the promise of snow, and the city glowing with minimalist Scandi warmth. With P&O Cruises, you could explore the Vigeland Sculpture Park, sail through icy inlets on a fjord cruise, or dive into Viking history at the Kon-Tiki Museum. Add in the chance to glimpse the Northern Lights from deck, and you’ve got a winter story worth telling for years.
3. Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg knows how to do winter right. Think sprawling Christmas markets, riverside strolls with views of the Elbe, and indulgent German cuisine served in timber-framed taverns. Excursions may whisk you away on a canal cruise through the warehouse district or into the buzzing market squares, where bratwurst and gingerbread await. And if you’ve never sipped glühwein under twinkling lights, you’re in for a treat. This is winter cruising at its most delicious.
4. Tallinn, Estonia
If you’ve never seen Tallinn's Old Town in winter, prepare to be enchanted. Cobblestone streets dusted with snow, gothic spires silhouetted against a soft grey sky, and little cafes glowing with candlelight, it’s like stepping into a snow globe. Join a P&O Cruises walking tour through the city’s UNESCO-listed heart, or venture into the Lahemaa National Park for a frosty forest adventure. Estonia in winter is pure magic, and you get to be the main character with P&O Cruises in 2027.
