P&O Cruises Brings Tropical Vibes to the Tube with 3D Digital OOH

P&O Cruises has unveiled an innovative digital out-of-home (DOOH) campaign, transforming London Underground stations into immersive, tropical getaways. Commuters at key locations like Bank and Waterloo are treated to a vibrant display of 3D animations, bringing the beauty of underwater scenes to life.

Amplifying the "Holiday Like Never Before" Platform

This campaign is an extension of P&O Cruises' "Holiday like never before" platform, launched in January 2024. Created by Pablo, the campaign emphasizes immersive storytelling, inspiring potential holidaymakers to envision their next getaway.

The DOOH activations include eye-catching 3D animations of tropical fish swimming out of the screen, immersing commuters in a world of relaxation and adventure.

Geo-Location Targeting and Real-Time Updates

Adding a layer of personalization, the campaign utilizes geo-location targeting and real-time API feeds. Commuters can see updates on the locations of P&O Cruises’ ships alongside weather conditions in real time, making the experience even more engaging.

To further connect with audiences, viewers of the DOOH activations will be retargeted through advanced mobile ad strategies. This includes immersive 3D audio and display ads, ensuring the brand stays top-of-mind for potential holidaymakers.

Collaboration and Technology

The campaign represents a seamless collaboration between creative and technical teams:

• P&O Cruises’ creative team spearheaded the concept.
• Dooh.com handled artworking, 3D content creation, and data integration using Global Weather API and P&O's first-party data.
• Wavemaker UK managed the strategy, planning, and buying, implementing a digital-first approach.

Rob Scott, vice-president of sales, marketing, and brand at P&O Cruises, shared his excitement about the campaign:

“We are excited to be launching this innovative digital out-of-home activation to really bring our holidays to life and grab the attention of commuters... The technology will allow us to share our beautiful imagery with potential holidaymakers across multiple touchpoints, showcasing why now is the right time to book a P&O Cruises holiday.”

A Multi-Channel Approach

The DOOH campaign runs through March 2025 and complements other media activations, including:

• TV advertising launching on Christmas Day.
• Broadcaster video on demand (BVOD), print, digital, and social media channels to maximize reach.

Jennifer Manning, managing partner at Wavemaker UK, highlighted the campaign's innovative approach:

“The ‘Holiday like never before’ campaign provides the perfect platform and inspiration to create a series of super innovative DOOH media activations... We’ve implemented an innovative, digital-first media strategy to ensure the P&O Cruises DOOH ad campaign is an unmissable experience.”

A Lasting Impression

With its cutting-edge 3D animations, real-time updates, and multi-channel media strategy, P&O Cruises’ campaign is set to inspire holidaymakers and capture attention during the peak booking season.
