- The Very Last Night Show - Based on a live-to-air TV show for a live studio audience, The Very Last Night Show offers true variety with design elements reminiscent of a typical late night television program.
- Life As We Know It - A modern music performance piece, Life as We Know It reflects on the various aspects of life including love, loss, fear and joy. The soundtrack includes a mix of contemporary music and the imagery reflects the emotional, reflective and entertaining moments in various phases of life.
- Sideshow Alley - Sideshow Alley takes a theatrically entertaining look at the characters behind the scenes of a travelling sideshow. Set in no particular place at no particular time, the story reverberates the value of being ourselves, to be truly accepted. The diverse characters each find the sideshow world is one in which they fit in unequivocally.
- Twice upon a Time - Twice Upon A Time is a remarkable, original lyrical dance piece which has been created like no other show P&O has previously presented. It dramatically takes a journey through a post apocalyptic world to a time of re-generation and splendour. The contemporary dance style captures the tension and glory of the tale delivering an emotional masterpiece unlike any other show on board.
- The Velvet Rope - A mix of song, dance and drama, The Velvet Rope is set in a nightclub of the 1930s. This is a story of hope and perseverance, a lesson in not always listening to others but listening to yourself and a joyful mix of music blends linking the romance of troubled times in the 1930s with the slick music grooves of the 21st century.
- Slumber - P&O beds can be a place of rest, of nurturing and revitalising. They can also be a place of struggle and torment. A place to dream, to love, to play, to escape to. This original new production has a bed as the central theme and touches on these aspects with a dream-like treatment. Featuring a broad mix of contemporary songs, Slumber is bound to be an entertaining treat for all.
*Production shows may vary from ship to ship dependent on itineraries
