P&O Cruises has announced that it is the new headline sponsor of the BAFTA Television Awards which will take place on 14 May 2023. The multi-year partnership will include activity around the awards, as well as future activity on board the P&O Cruises fleet.
As part of the partnership P&O Cruises will launch a ‘P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award’, the only award voted for by members of the viewing public. The award will honour the impact of television in the UK and its power to entertain, inform and bring the nation together. Voting for the six nominees will open in April 2023.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said:
“We could not be more delighted to be working in partnership with BAFTA for the upcoming Television Awards. This headline sponsorship brings together two iconic British brands, both steeped in heritage and with huge synergies in entertainment and experience.
Just like holidays, TV provides escapism from the everyday and the BAFTA Television Award categories and nominees represent huge variety, with programming and talent which truly celebrates the best of the best.”
Louise Robertson, Executive Director of Partnerships & Fundraising at BAFTA, said:
“As Britain’s most popular cruise line, P&O Cruises is a distinctively British brand with history and heritage in the hearts and minds of all age groups.
As an arts charity, we are very grateful to P&O Cruises for its generous support of the BAFTA Television Awards, enabling us to stage Britain’s biggest celebration of UK and international television – and look forward to developing our new partnership over the coming years to celebrate the people who bring this to life through their storytelling and production, and inspire the next generation of creative talent.”
