The Caribbean is renowned for its beautiful white beaches and clear turquoise waters. However, there is much more to explore beyond these picturesque scenes.
In addition to stunning 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 voyage aboard the Arvia, with its spacious and sunny ambiance, provides an ideal opportunity to bask in the warm and sunny climate of the Caribbean.
Commence your journey in the lively capital of Barbados, Bridgetown, a city teeming with charm and historical significance, before setting sail to discover the diverse Caribbean islands.
Travel to popular destinations like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as hidden gems like the dual Dutch-French island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each morning brings a new and breathtaking view.
P&O Cruises offers a wide array of shore experiences, enabling travelers to customize their trip based on their preferences. Imagine snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming alongside local marine life for an unforgettable adventure off the coast of Barbados.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself by climbing the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic peaks, to enjoy panoramic views of the island and surrounding seas.
For a more leisurely experience, savor the scenery with a glass of rum punch on the St Kitts Scenic Railway, or indulge in a lavish lobster lunch during a tour of Antigua.
On a P&O Cruises vacation, the journey itself is part of the adventure, especially on a ship as alluring as the Arvia. Known as the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to seamlessly blend the outdoors with the indoors. The Grand Atrium, filled with natural light, offers expansive views of the Caribbean, while the SkyDome serves as a versatile venue with a retractable glass roof, transforming from a daytime pool paradise to a lively entertainment hub at night.
Looking for a unique experience? Swim in the infinity pool on Arvia while enjoying stunning vistas at the swim-up bar. With over 30 dining and drinking options onboard, guests can choose from a variety of culinary delights.
Indulge in chicken and waffles at the 6th Street Diner, explore diverse international cuisines at The Quays, or relish dining with panoramic views at Meridian or Zenith. For a special treat, dine at fine-dining venues like Epicurean, Sindhu, or Green & Co feat. Mizuhana for innovative plant-based and Asian-inspired dishes, or enjoy a delicious burger at The Keel & Cow gastropub.
Sip on handcrafted cocktails at sophisticated bars like The Glass House and Crow’s Nest, and don’t miss the opportunity to try rum cocktails, a Caribbean specialty. Arvia features the first rum distillery at sea, offering a variety of rum blends, including the bespoke Golden Tide created in partnership with The Tidal Rum to capture the essence of the sun-soaked region.
In the evenings, guests can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options, from live music and award-winning magic shows to adult-exclusive comedy sets and silent disco parties. Alternatively, relax and catch the latest blockbuster films at the three-screen Ocean Studios cinema complex.
