Earlier this week, P&O celebrated its history of 175 years in sailing out of Southampton by the arrival and departure of all of its entire fleet of 7 ships in at the same time.

A Royal Naval vessel escorted a ship which had HRH Princess Ann on board to review the fleet when they arrived off the Isle of Wight before the ships departed on their various cruise destinations.

The UK’s Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, were due to fly overhead the ships when they were in dock but because of the bad weather that part was cancelled.
