The Caribbean is well-known for its pristine white beaches and clear turquoise waters. However, there is much more waiting to be explored in this region.
Apart from its beautiful islands and serene shorelines, the Caribbean offers a rich cultural experience, historical sites, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, a ship featuring bright and airy spaces along with open-air pools, provides an ideal opportunity to soak up the warm and sunny Caribbean ambiance.
Begin your journey in lively Bridgetown, Barbados, a city brimming with charm and historical significance, before cruising through the Caribbean.
During your voyage, you will visit popular destinations like St. Lucia and St. Kitts, as well as lesser-known gems such as the unique island of St. Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, waking up to breathtaking new vistas each day.
P&O Cruises offers a wide range of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Dive into an unforgettable adventure off the coast of Barbados by snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming with local marine life. Alternatively, visit the renowned Oistins Fish Fry in Barbados for a taste of delicious seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St. Lucia, challenge yourself by hiking up the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic peaks, for awe-inspiring 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 during a tour of Antigua.
On a P&O Cruises holiday, the journey itself is an integral part of the adventure, especially aboard the captivating Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to seamlessly blend the outdoors with the indoors. The Grand Atrium offers panoramic Caribbean views, while the SkyDome serves as a lively venue with a retractable glass roof, transforming into a poolside oasis during the day and an exciting entertainment hub at night.
Indulge in a swim at the infinity pool while admiring stunning vistas on Arvia. With over 30 dining and drinking options on board, guests can savor a variety of culinary delights ranging from American fare at the 6th Street Diner to international cuisines at The Quays, Meridian, or Zenith with spectacular views.
For a special dining experience, try the fine-dining establishments onboard such as Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana, or opt for a delicious burger at The Keel & Cow. Enjoy handcrafted beverages at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, and don’t miss the opportunity to sample rum cocktails, a Caribbean must-have, with Arvia featuring the first rum distillery at sea.
In the evenings, a plethora of entertainment options await, including live music, magic shows, musicals, adult comedy sets, and silent disco parties. Guests can also catch the latest blockbuster movies at the three-screen Ocean Studios cinema complex.
For a pampering experience, visit the onboard spa offering therapeutic sauna, sensory steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool for ultimate relaxation. Additionally, there is a hair and beauty salon for those seeking a makeover.
Accommodation options on Arvia range from comfortable inside cabins with modern amenities to luxurious suites with optional butler service, balconies, and more.
