The Caribbean is renowned for its flawless white beaches and clear turquoise waters, but there is more to explore beyond that. In addition to enchanting islands and serene beaches, you will encounter captivating culture, historical landmarks, renowned cuisine, and local celebrations.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard Arvia, with its vibrant and airy spaces and outdoor pools, is an ideal way to experience the warm and sunny weather of the region. Begin your journey in lively Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, teeming with character and history, before setting sail across the Caribbean.
Your itinerary will include popular stops like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as lesser-known gems like the dual Dutch-French island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each morning will greet you with a stunning new vista.
P&O Cruises provides a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Imagine snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming with local marine life for an unforgettable adventure off the coast of Barbados. Or immerse yourself in the renowned Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street festivity featuring delectable seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself with a climb up the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic peaks, for breathtaking views of the island and surrounding waters. For a more leisurely experience, savor the scenery with a rum punch aboard the St Kitts Scenic Railway, or opt for a tour of Antigua that includes a sumptuous lobster lunch.
A voyage with P&O Cruises is not just about the destination but the journey itself, especially aboard a ship as inviting as Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces. The light-filled Grand Atrium offers expansive views of the Caribbean, while the SkyDome, a lively venue with a retractable glass roof, transforms from a poolside oasis during the day to an exciting entertainment hub at night.
Indulge in a swim-up bar experience by the infinity pool, where you can enjoy breathtaking views. With over 30 dining and drinking options onboard, from American fare at 6th Street Diner to international cuisines at The Quays, there is something for every palate.
For a more upscale dining experience, specialty fine-dining venues such as Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana offer a variety of culinary delights. Enjoy handcrafted beverages at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, and do not miss out on the rum cocktails, a staple in the Caribbean, with Arvia featuring the first rum distillery at sea.
In the evenings, choose from a plethora of entertainment options, including live music, magic shows, musicals, adult comedy sets, and silent discos. Relax at the three-screen Ocean Studios cinema complex for the latest blockbusters.
For ultimate relaxation, visit the onboard spa for therapeutic sauna sessions, sensory steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool. Additionally, there is a hair and beauty salon for those seeking a pampering session.
Accommodation options range from cozy inside cabins with modern amenities to luxurious suites with optional butler service, balconies, and more. With P&O Cruises, paradise becomes even more enticing.
