P&O Cruises dates its founding to 1837, making it the oldest cruise line in the world. However, its origins date back even further to 1822, when the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company was founded by two men, a London shipbroker by the name of Brodie McGhie Wilcox, after whom the Brodie's pub on many P&O ships is named, and a Scottish sailor, Arthur Anderson. Anderson's wine bar maybe found on some of the other ships.
