The largest cruise ship ever built for P&O will have a taste of the Island aboard when it launches next year.

The company has announced the MV Britannia will serve Okell’s ale when she sets off on her maiden voyage in March 2015.

Up to 3,600 passengers will be able to enjoy the Heron & Brearley tipple inside the vessel’s 13 bars and restaurants.

Her maiden voyage will take in Spain, Italy and France – once in service she’ll visit the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Norwegian Fjords, the Baltic, Canary Islands and Atlantic Islands.
