The Caribbean is renowned for its beautiful white beaches and clear blue waters. However, there is much more to explore beyond these picturesque landscapes.
In addition to the stunning islands and serene beaches, the Caribbean offers a rich cultural experience, historical landmarks, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local events.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, with its spacious and bright interiors and refreshing open-air pools, provides an ideal opportunity to immerse oneself in the warm and sunny climate of the region.
Commence your journey in the lively capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, a city brimming with charm and historical significance, before setting sail to discover the Caribbean’s diverse destinations.
You will visit popular spots like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as hidden gems such as the unique dual-nation island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each morning will greet you with a breathtaking new vista.
P&O Cruises offers an array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. How about snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming alongside local marine life for an unforgettable adventure off the coast of Barbados?
Alternatively, you can explore the renowned Oistins Fish Fry on the island, a weekly street festival where locals and tourists come together for fresh seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, you can challenge yourself by climbing Gros Piton, a towering volcanic peak that offers stunning panoramic views of the island and its surroundings. For a more leisurely experience, enjoy the scenery with a glass of rum punch on the St Kitts Scenic Railway or savor a lavish lobster lunch on an Antigua tour.
A P&O Cruises holiday is not just about the destination but also about the journey, especially aboard a ship as inviting as Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to bring the outdoors inside, with the Grand Atrium offering expansive views of the Caribbean and the SkyDome serving as a lively venue with a retractable glass roof.
Indulge in a swim with a view at the infinity pool on Arvia, featuring a swim-up bar for added luxury. The ship boasts over 30 dining and drinking options, from the American-style 6th Street Diner to international cuisines at The Quays, as well as scenic dining at Meridian or Zenith.
For a premium dining experience, try specialty restaurants like Epicurean for modern British cuisine, Sindhu for Indian fusion dishes, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana for plant-based Asian-inspired meals. Or opt for a tasty burger at the gastropub The Keel & Cow.
Quench your thirst with handcrafted cocktails at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest. Of course, being in the Caribbean, rum cocktails are a must, and Arvia even features the first rum distillery at sea.
Explore various rum blends, including the exclusive Golden Tide by P&O Cruises, crafted in collaboration with The Tidal Rum to capture the region’s vibrant essence.
In the evenings, enjoy a wide range of entertainment options, including live music, magic shows, musical performances, adult comedy sets, and a silent disco. You can also catch the latest movies at the Ocean Studios cinema complex.
For ultimate relaxation, pamper yourself at the onboard spa, featuring a sauna, steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool for a serene experience. Additionally, there is a hair and beauty salon for those seeking a makeover.
Accommodation options on Arvia range from cozy inside cabins with modern amenities to luxurious suites with optional butler service, balconies, and more.
