The Caribbean is renowned for its immaculate white beaches and clear turquoise waters. However, there is a wealth of experiences waiting to be explored beyond these picturesque landscapes.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia provides the perfect opportunity to bask in the warm and sunny climate of the region. Beginning your journey in the vibrant capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, rich in character and history, sets the stage for an unforgettable Caribbean voyage.
During your cruise, you will visit popular destinations like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as lesser-known gems such as the unique St Maarten and the serene Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each day presents a new and stunning vista to wake up to.
P&O Cruises offers a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Dive into a thrilling adventure by snorkeling above a shipwreck and mingling with local marine life off the coast of Barbados. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the lively Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street party in Barbados featuring delectable seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself with a trek up the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic peaks, for breathtaking panoramic views. For a more relaxed experience, savor the scenery with a glass of rum punch aboard the St Kitts Scenic Railway or indulge in a tour of Antigua coupled with a sumptuous lobster lunch.
Arvia, known as the “sunshine ship,” is designed to seamlessly blend outdoor beauty with indoor comfort. The Grand Atrium bathes the ship in natural light, providing expansive Caribbean views. The SkyDome, an energetic venue with a retractable glass roof, transitions from a daytime pool paradise to a lively entertainment hub at night.
Experience the unique infinity pool on Arvia, where you can enjoy stunning vistas while indulging in a swim-up bar. With over 30 dining options, the ship caters to diverse culinary preferences, from the all-American 6th Street Diner to the international flavors at The Quays and the scenic dining at Meridian or Zenith.
For a more upscale dining experience, fine-dining venues like Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana offer specialty cuisines, while The Keel & Cow serves up delicious burgers. Quench your thirst with handcrafted beverages at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, and don’t miss out on the rum cocktails unique to the Caribbean, including the exclusive Golden Tide blend by P&O Cruises.
Arvia’s evening entertainment options are diverse, ranging from live music and magic shows to comedy sets and silent discos. Additionally, guests can enjoy the latest movies at the Ocean Studios cinema complex or unwind at the onboard spa featuring therapeutic facilities such as saunas, steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool, along with a hair and beauty salon.
Accommodation choices on Arvia cater to various preferences, from affordable inside cabins to luxurious suites with optional butler service, balconies, and more.
