The Caribbean is renowned for its pristine white beaches and clear turquoise waters, but there is much more waiting to be explored. Beyond the alluring islands and serene beaches lie rich cultural experiences, historical landmarks, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations.
Embark on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard Arvia, a ship designed with bright and spacious areas along with open-air pools, offering the perfect setting to bask in the warm and sunny Caribbean weather. Begin your journey in the lively Barbados capital, Bridgetown, a city brimming with charm and historical significance, before setting sail to explore the wonders of the Caribbean.
During your voyage, you’ll visit classic 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. Each day brings a new breathtaking view to wake up to.
P&O Cruises provides a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to include activities you love. Dive into the waters above a shipwreck for a thrilling snorkeling adventure and swim with local marine life off the coast of Barbados. Or immerse yourself in the legendary Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street party offering 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, for awe-inspiring views of the island and surrounding seas. For a more relaxed experience, savor the scenery with a glass of rum punch on the St Kitts Scenic Railway, or indulge in a tour of Antigua topped off with a lavish lobster lunch.
On a P&O Cruises holiday, the journey itself is an integral part of the experience, especially aboard Arvia, known as the “sunshine ship” for its design that seamlessly connects with the outdoors. Enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean from the light-filled Grand Atrium and experience the versatile SkyDome, a venue that transforms from a poolside paradise during the day to an exciting entertainment hub at night.
Enjoy a swim with a view in the infinity pool on Arvia, complete with a swim-up bar offering stunning vistas. The ship boasts over 30 dining and drinking options, ranging from all-American fare at 6th Street Diner to international cuisines at The Quays, and scenic dining at Meridian or Zenith.
Indulge in specialty fine dining experiences at spots like Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana for unique culinary delights, or opt for a tasty burger at gastropub The Keel & Cow. Quench your thirst with handcrafted drinks at sophisticated bars such as The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, and don’t miss out on the Caribbean’s must-have rum cocktails, with Arvia featuring the first rum distillery at sea.
For evening entertainment, choose from live music, award-winning magic shows, musical singalongs, adult-exclusive comedy sets, and a silent disco. Alternatively, relax and catch the latest blockbusters at the Ocean Studios cinema complex with three screens.
For a touch of luxury and relaxation, pamper yourself at the onboard spa with therapeutic sauna, sensory steam rooms, and hydrotherapy pool, or visit the hair and beauty salon for a rejuvenating experience.
