The Caribbean boasts stunning white beaches and clear turquoise waters, but its allure goes beyond its natural beauty. In addition to picturesque islands and serene beaches, the region offers rich cultural experiences, historical sites, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises voyage aboard the Arvia, with its spacious and airy design featuring open-air pools, provides the ideal opportunity to bask in the warm and sunny Caribbean weather. Commence your journey in bustling Bridgetown, Barbados, a city steeped in charm and history, before setting sail to explore the Caribbean’s wonders.
During your cruise, you’ll visit popular destinations like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as lesser-known gems such as the dual-nation island of St Maarten and the serene Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each day will greet you with a breathtaking new vista.
P&O Cruises offers a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Dive into the waters off Barbados to snorkel above a shipwreck and mingle with local marine life, or savor the atmosphere at Oistins Fish Fry, a lively street party 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, offering panoramic views of the island and its surroundings. For a more leisurely experience, enjoy a scenic ride on the St Kitts Scenic Railway or indulge in a lavish lobster lunch on a tour of Antigua.
On a P&O Cruises holiday, the journey is as enchanting as the destination, especially aboard the captivating Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to bring the outdoors in, with its light-filled Grand Atrium and dynamic SkyDome venue featuring a retractable glass roof that transforms from a poolside oasis by day to an exciting entertainment hub by night.
Indulge in a swim with a view at the infinity pool or explore the ship’s diverse dining options, including over 30 eateries and bars. Whether you crave American classics at the 6th Street Diner, international flavors at The Quays, or scenic dining at Meridian or Zenith, Arvia caters to all tastes.
For a more upscale dining experience, try specialty restaurants like the Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana, offering a fusion of plant-based and Asian-inspired cuisines. Quench your thirst at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, or sample rum cocktails at the first rum distillery at sea on Arvia.
Evening entertainment on board ranges from live music and magic shows to comedy sets and silent discos, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Unwind at the onboard spa with sauna, steam rooms, and hydrotherapy pool, or treat yourself to a makeover at the hair and beauty salon.
Accommodation options on P&O Cruises cater to various preferences, from cozy inside cabins to luxurious suites with balcony views and optional butler service. With a P&O Cruises holiday, paradise becomes even more enticing, offering stylish accommodation, delectable dining, and endless entertainment.
Enhance your experience with new all-inclusive packages, which cover drinks, Wi-Fi, and speciality dining credit. Choose between the All-inclusive Classic and All-inclusive Deluxe options for added value. With P&O Cruises, exceptional service is a standard feature, and tipping is not expected.
