Introducing Arvia from P&O Cruises

P&O Cruises newest Excel class ship, Arvia, is ready to join their impressive fleet in December 2022, bringing more freedom and innovation than ever before. Setting off from the Canary Islands and into the sunshine of the Caribbean, Arvia is one of the world’s greenest ships, following in the footsteps of her sister ship, Iona. With an excellent Springtime Savings offer on until 30th May, this is your perfect chance to experience this brand-new ship and the splendour of the Caribbean.

A Caribbean fly-cruise delivers you directly to the sunshine pronto. Fly into Barbados or—new for this season—Antigua, and then hop aboard P&O Cruises Arvia, jumping right into the colours and cultures of the Caribbean. White sandy beaches, gin-clear waters, and swaying palm trees will put you right into a Caribbean state of mind. Curated shore experiences give you the chance to get up-close and personal with Caribbean culture, meeting locals as you explore a different side of this popular region.

A Caribbean holiday is always the perfect place for relaxation and discovery. From breathtaking beaches with warm Caribbean breezes to flavourful Caribbean food to incredibly diverse scenery, there is a reason that travellers flock to these mesmerizing shores each year. With seven or 14-night cruise holidays, there’s something for everyone to enjoy whether you’re looking for a bit of winter sun or a spring beach break.

Arvia’s unique SkyDome and its retractable glass roof provides the perfect chance to soak up the Caribbean sunshine with panoramic views. This is where you will find delicious dining (including plenty of Caribbean-inspired options), fantastic entertainment, bars, a pool, and plenty of loungers. In all, the ship features six theatres, five pools, and a whopping 26 dining and drinking options.

Modern accommodations range from Inside Cabins right up to Suites. We particularly love the Conservatory Mini Suites, featuring awe-inspiring sea views.

Onboard Arvia, you’ll have your pick of dining experiences in exclusive restaurants. From cinema screenings to live music to a family-friendly activity zone, a voyage onboard Arvia is truly an experience for the whole family.

Heading up to Arvia’s exciting Deck 19 brings you to a new altitude and a thrilling world of experiences, giving you the opportunity to enjoy fun in the sun and sea views. Open from daytime to nightfall, Deck 19 is the place for outdoors adventures whilst onboard. Play a round of tropical island-themed mini golf or splash in the outdoor water play zone for some family fun. Thrill seekers will love Altitude, P&O Cruises first ever high-ropes experience. Those looking for some active fun can play a game of football or basketball in the sports arena, satisfying your competitive side by playing against a rival team.

We’re also thrilled to share that Arvia will feature the world’s first ever rum distillery at sea. P&O Cruises are partnering with The Tidal Rum to create an island-inspired rum for Arvia’s Caribbean adventures. Infused with the finest rums of the Caribbean and coastal botanicals foraged at low tides. The maiden production run will take place in Arvia’s custom-made still in Anderson’s Bar. Enjoy it neat or mix it in an array of expertly crafted cocktails. You can savour the taste onboard, and you can take bottles home as souvenirs.

Arvia is P&O Cruises second ship (following Iona) to be powered by liquefied natural gas. This combined with her significantly reduced carbon emissions makes Arvia one of the most environmentally friendly ships in the world, paving the way for the future of responsible travel in the cruise industry.
