The Caribbean is renowned for its beautiful white beaches and clear blue waters. However, there is a wealth of hidden treasures waiting to be explored.
In addition to the enchanting islands and serene beaches, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich culture, historical landmarks, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations of the region.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, with its spacious and airy design featuring open-air pools, is an ideal way to soak up the warm and sunny Caribbean atmosphere.
Begin your journey in bustling Bridgetown, Barbados, a city teeming with charm and history, before setting sail to explore various Caribbean destinations.
From classic stops like St Lucia and St Kitts to lesser-known gems such as the unique dual-nation island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, each day brings a new and stunning vista.
P&O Cruises provides a wide array of shore experiences, allowing travelers to customize their trip to suit their preferences. Dive into an unforgettable adventure by snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming with local marine life off the coast of Barbados. Alternatively, experience the lively Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street party in Barbados featuring delectable seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself by ascending 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, enjoy a scenic ride on the St Kitts Scenic Railway or indulge in a tour of Antigua with a sumptuous lobster lunch.
On a P&O Cruises holiday, the journey itself is part of the adventure, especially aboard the captivating Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia boasts a design that seamlessly integrates the outdoors with its light-filled Grand Atrium offering panoramic Caribbean views. The SkyDome, featuring a retractable glass roof, transforms from a poolside oasis during the day to a lively entertainment venue at night.
Guests can enjoy stunning views while swimming at the infinity pool with a swim-up bar on Arvia. The ship offers over 30 dining and drinking options, including the American-style 6th Street Diner, international cuisine at The Quays, and scenic dining at Meridian or Zenith. For a special culinary experience, guests can dine at fine-dining venues like Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana, or savor a tasty burger at The Keel & Cow.
For those looking to unwind, sophisticated bars such as The Glass House and Crow’s Nest offer handcrafted drinks, while rum enthusiasts can sample various blends, including the exclusive P&O Cruises Golden Tide, crafted in partnership with The Tidal Rum to capture the essence of the region.
In the evenings, guests can choose from a variety of entertainment options, including live music, award-winning magic shows, musical performances, adult comedy sets, and a silent disco. The Ocean Studios cinema complex also screens the latest blockbuster films.
For a luxurious experience, guests can visit the onboard spa, featuring a sauna, steam rooms, hydrotherapy pool, and a hair and beauty salon for pampering sessions.
Accommodation options on Arvia range from cozy and affordable inside cabins to luxurious suites with optional butler service, balconies, and more.
