Southampton's P&O Cruises has teamed up with city-based car dealers Hunters Landrover as part of an "On the Road'' sales tour across the country to promote the shipping line's 2003 around the world voyages.

The P&O Cruises sales team took to the road in a Land Rover Freelander touring 23 key UK travel agents to promote the cruises on board P&O's Southampton superliners Aurora and Oriana.

Both ships each undertake a three-month circumnavigation leaving Southampton in the January of each year and returning to the port at the beginning of April.

In 2003 they will visit 57 ports of call, with new destinations including Hiroshima in Japan, Nha Tran in Vietnam, Semarang in Indonesia and Devonport in Tasmania.
