The Caribbean is well-known for its beautiful white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, but it offers much more than meets the eye.
Beyond the stunning islands and serene beaches, there is a wealth of culture, historical sites, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations waiting to be explored.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, a ship boasting bright and airy spaces and refreshing open-air pools, is the ideal way to immerse yourself in the warm and sunny Caribbean climate.
Commence your journey in lively Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, a city rich in charm and history, before setting sail to explore the wonders of the Caribbean.
During your voyage, you will visit classic destinations like St. Lucia and St. Kitts, as well as lesser-known gems such as the culturally diverse island of St. Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each morning will greet you with a new and breathtaking vista.
P&O Cruises provides a wide array 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, indulge in the legendary Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street festivity offering 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 stunning views of the island and its surroundings. For a more leisurely experience, savor the scenery with a rum punch aboard the St. Kitts Scenic Railway or enjoy a tour of Antigua paired with a sumptuous lobster lunch.
On a P&O Cruises vacation, the journey itself is part of the adventure, especially aboard the alluring Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to seamlessly blend the outdoors with indoor spaces. The Grand Atrium bathes in natural light, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean, while the SkyDome transforms from a poolside paradise during the day to an exciting entertainment venue at night.
Experience the luxury of swimming in an infinity pool while taking in stunning vistas on Arvia. With over 30 dining and drinking venues on board, you can savor a variety of culinary delights. Indulge in chicken and waffles at the 6th Street Diner, explore international cuisines at The Quays, or enjoy magnificent views at Meridian or Zenith.
For a special dining experience, try the fine-dining options such as the modern British Epicurean, Indian fusion Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana for plant-based and Asian-inspired dishes. Or opt for a gourmet burger at the gastropub The Keel & Cow.
Quench your thirst with handcrafted cocktails at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest. And don’t miss out on the Caribbean’s signature rum cocktails, with Arvia featuring the first rum distillery at sea.
Enjoy a variety of evening entertainment options, including live music, award-winning magic shows, singalong musicals, adult-exclusive comedy sets, and a silent disco. Alternatively, relax and catch the latest blockbusters at the Ocean Studios cinema complex.
For ultimate relaxation, treat yourself to the onboard spa, featuring a therapeutic sauna, sensory steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool. Indulge in a pampering session at the hair and beauty salon for a radiant glow.
