The Caribbean is renowned for its flawless white beaches and clear turquoise waters, offering more than meets the eye. Beyond enchanting islands and serene shores, there are rich cultural experiences, historical landmarks, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises voyage aboard the Arvia, a ship featuring bright, airy spaces and open-air pools, provides an ideal opportunity to bask in the region’s sunny climate. Beginning your journey in lively Bridgetown, Barbados, a city steeped in history and charm, sets the stage for exploring the Caribbean.
During your cruise, you’ll visit classic destinations like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as hidden gems such as the unique St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, waking up to stunning new vistas daily.
P&O Cruises offers a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Dive into an unforgettable adventure off Barbados by snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming with local marine life, or immerse yourself in the legendary Oistins Fish Fry for a taste of local seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself by ascending the 2,600ft Gros Piton for breathtaking views of the island and surrounding seas. For a more relaxed experience, savor the scenery with a rum punch aboard the St Kitts Scenic Railway, or indulge in a lavish lobster lunch during an Antigua tour.
On a P&O Cruises holiday, the journey itself is part of the adventure, especially on a ship like Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to bring the outdoors inside, with the Grand Atrium offering expansive Caribbean views and the SkyDome providing a lively poolside setting by day and an exciting entertainment hub by night.
