P&O Cruises Spa Prices and Embarkation Day Specials
P&O Cruises offers a wide selection of spa, massage, beauty, acupuncture, hair, and grooming treatments onboard, but one of the most interesting times to check the spa is immediately after boarding. This P&O Cruises embarkation-day spa flyer shows several treatments offered at substantial discounts when booked and received on the first day of the cruise.
The photographed promotion includes massages, a facial, acupuncture, manicure and pedicure services, men’s grooming, and hair treatments, with advertised savings of up to £70. For anyone trying to budget for a P&O cruise, these real onboard prices provide a useful idea of what spa treatments can cost and the type of embarkation-day deals that may be offered.

P&O Cruises Embarkation Day Spa Specials
The photographed flyer promotes these treatments as “Embarkation Favorites” and states that appointments are limited.
Most importantly, these were specific embarkation-day offers. According to the fine print, treatments had to be both booked and received on embarkation day to qualify for the promotion.
The treatments shown include:
• The Ultimate Facial – 50 minutes
• Aroma Spa Seaweed Wrap with Massage – 100 minutes
• Aroma Stone Therapy / Bamboo Massage – 75 minutes
• Acupuncture – 50 minutes
• Fire and Ice Manicure and Pedicure – 105 minutes
• Grooming Treatment and Shave – 75 minutes
• Color Therapy package
A second selection sheet also lists CRYOTIGHTEN+FIRM as a 75-minute option, although its price is not visible in the provided photos.
The Ultimate Facial – £99 Embarkation Special
The Ultimate Facial was advertised as a 50-minute treatment.
According to the flyer, the facial uses BIOTEC technology and is customized according to the guest’s skin needs, targeting concerns including pigmentation, fine lines, dehydration, acne, and scarring.
The prices shown were:
• Regular price – £149
• Embarkation day price – £99
• Savings – £50
That works out to a substantial reduction simply for receiving the treatment on embarkation day.
Aroma Spa Seaweed Wrap With Massage – £139
The Aroma Spa Seaweed Wrap with Massage was one of the longest treatments included in the promotion at 100 minutes.
The flyer describes the treatment as using marine algae and combining the wrap with massage.
The prices shown were:
• Regular price – £199
• Embarkation day price – £139
• Savings – £60
This was one of the largest discounts on the photographed P&O Cruises spa flyer.
Aroma Stone Therapy / Bamboo Massage – £119
The Aroma Stone Therapy / Bamboo Massage was a 75-minute treatment.
The promotion describes it as a heated relaxation massage designed to deeply relax tired and stressed muscles.
Pricing was:
• Regular price – £149
• Embarkation day price – £119
• Savings – £30
For passengers planning to book a massage during their cruise anyway, checking the embarkation-day offers could therefore result in meaningful savings.
Acupuncture – £129 With Complimentary Cupping
The photographed P&O Cruises spa flyer also included acupuncture.
The treatment was listed as:
• Acupuncture – 50 minutes
• Price – £129
• Complimentary neck and shoulder cupping
• Stated savings – £29
Unlike several of the other promotions, the acupuncture price itself was not reduced. Instead, the embarkation-day offer added complimentary neck and shoulder cupping.
P&O Cruises continues to list acupuncture among the wellness treatments available through its onboard spa program, although specific treatments can vary by ship.
Fire and Ice Manicure and Pedicure – £89
The Fire and Ice Manicure and Pedicure was a 105-minute treatment combining traditional nail services with additional relaxation treatments.
According to the flyer, it included:
• Full manicure
• Full pedicure
• Hot stone massage
• Warm nourishing treatment
The advertised prices were:
• Regular price – £128
• Embarkation day price – £89
• Stated savings – £38
This was also the longest individual treatment shown on the main photographed promotion.
Grooming Treatment and Shave
The Grooming Treatment and Shave was described as an old-school hot and cold towel shave.
According to the flyer, the experience included:
• Deep cleansing facial
• Double close shave
• Scalp massage
• Hand and arm massage
• Anti-aging and repairing facial treatment
The flyer shows a price of £89 and advertises a complimentary haircut, listed at £69, when the treatment was booked that day.
There is one discrepancy worth pointing out.
The treatment heading says “Grooming Treatment and Shave – 75 min,” while the pricing line underneath says “50 min £89.”
Because those two durations appear on the same photographed P&O Cruises document, passengers should confirm the actual duration when booking rather than relying on either figure.
Color Therapy Hair Package – £160
The Color Therapy promotion bundled several salon services together.
The description lists:
• Permanent color
• Highlights
• Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment
• Scalp massage
• Haircut
• Blowout
The main flyer describes this as six services and lists:
• Regular price – £232
• Embarkation day price – £160
• Savings – £70
That was the largest stated monetary discount shown on the main spa flyer.
However, there is another discrepancy between the two photographed pages.
The main promotional flyer calls Color Therapy a six-service package, while the separate selection form says “Color Therapy – 7 services.”
Because the original P&O Cruises documents conflict, passengers should confirm exactly which treatments are included before booking.
CRYOTIGHTEN+FIRM
The second photographed page includes CRYOTIGHTEN+FIRM as a 75-minute treatment option.
Interestingly, CRYOTIGHTEN+FIRM appears twice on the selection form.
The main pricing flyer provided here does not contain a corresponding visible price or treatment description, so we aren’t going to speculate about what the treatment cost on this sailing.
Which P&O Cruises Spa Special Saved the Most?
Based strictly on the savings printed on the photographed embarkation-day flyer, the largest discounts were:
• Color Therapy – Save £70
• Aroma Spa Seaweed Wrap with Massage – Save £60
• The Ultimate Facial – Save £50
• Fire and Ice Manicure and Pedicure – Stated savings of £38
• Aroma Stone Therapy / Bamboo Massage – Save £30
• Acupuncture with complimentary cupping – Stated savings of £29
The Grooming Treatment and Shave promotion offered a complimentary haircut, while the flyer displays a stated savings figure of £20.
These prices came from this particular P&O Cruises sailing and should not be considered permanent fleetwide spa pricing.
Oasis Spa on P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises operates Oasis Spa across its fleet.
The cruise line’s current spa and wellness program includes services such as:
• Massages
• Facials
• Acupuncture
• Hair salon services
• Barber services
• Manicures and pedicures
• Beauty treatments
• Couples treatments on applicable ships
Spa facilities themselves vary between P&O ships, so not every vessel necessarily has exactly the same facilities or treatment selection.
Are P&O Cruises Spa Treatments Included?
Spa treatments are an additional expense rather than part of the standard cruise fare.
P&O Cruises allows passengers to book available spa treatments through My P&O Cruises before sailing. Treatments can also be booked onboard, subject to availability.
This makes the embarkation-day promotion particularly interesting because it provides an example of how onboard pricing can differ from prices available at other times.
P&O Cruises Embarkation Spa Offer Rules
The fine print on the photographed promotion contains several important restrictions.
The flyer states:
• Treatments must be booked and received on embarkation day.
• The promotion cannot be combined with other offers.
• Appointments are limited.
• Guests should provide 24 hours’ notice when canceling or rescheduling.
• Canceling or rescheduling without sufficient notice can result in a charge of 50% of the treatment cost.
The photographed flyer also lists the spa operating hours as:
• 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Those hours and conditions applied to the photographed promotion and should not be assumed to apply to every P&O Cruises sailing.
Is Embarkation Day a Good Time to Visit the Spa?
Based on this promotion, it certainly can be.
Several of the discounts were substantial.
The 100-minute Aroma Spa Seaweed Wrap with Massage dropped from £199 to £139, saving £60.
The Ultimate Facial dropped from £149 to £99, saving £50.
The Color Therapy package was advertised at £160 instead of £232, a £70 reduction.
The tradeoff is that the treatment had to be received on embarkation day.
That means passengers taking advantage of these deals would need to fit the spa around unpacking, exploring the ship, dining, and other first-day activities.
Should You Pre-Book the P&O Cruises Spa?
P&O Cruises currently allows spa treatments and services to be booked through My P&O Cruises before departure, with onboard booking available afterward.
There is an advantage to booking early if there is a particular treatment and time you want.
However, this photographed flyer demonstrates another side of cruise spa pricing: special promotions can sometimes appear onboard.
There is no guarantee that the same embarkation-day discounts will be offered on every ship or sailing, so passengers shouldn’t count on receiving these exact prices.
P&O Cruises Spa Booking Tips
If you are considering a spa treatment during your P&O cruise:
• Check the spa soon after boarding for embarkation-day offers.
• Compare promotional pricing with the regular treatment price.
• Confirm how long the treatment lasts.
• Ask exactly what combination treatments include.
• Check whether any service charge or gratuity applies.
• Confirm the cancellation policy before booking.
• If you pre-booked a treatment, compare your existing price with onboard offers before making changes.
• Don’t assume prices from another ship or sailing will be identical.
• Book early if a specific treatment or appointment time is important to you.

Just remember that these are real prices from one P&O Cruises sailing—not a permanent spa price list. Treatments, prices, promotions, and availability can change by ship and sailing.
