P&O Cruises has released a new collection of 2024 holidays, including a selection of Scandinavia and Baltic Sea itineraries where guests will have the opportunity to explore fairy-tale castles, kayak through capital cities or discover the Viking way of life.
For years P&O Cruises has been welcoming guests to experience holidays with a blend of discovery, choice, relaxation and exceptional service catered towards British tastes. Its fleet of seven ships each have their own appeal from family friendly or exclusively for adults, making it Britain’s favourite cruise line.
Iona joined the P&O Cruises fleet in May 2021 as the next generation of ship. Iona, the first British cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas, sets a new standard for cruise travel featuring enhancements to already successful brand signature venues from across P&O Cruises existing fleet, as well as many new firsts such as the first gin distillery at sea and The 710 Club, with music director Gary Barlow.
Sister ship to Iona, Arvia will join the P&O Cruises fleet in December 2022 as its second LNG-powered, Excel-class ship offering a Caribbean maiden season of fly-cruise holidays from homeport Barbados.
Arvia, meaning ‘from the seashore’, is an innovative and future-focused ship and the latest evolution in the P&O Cruises experience, embodying the newest trends in travel, dining and entertainment to offer varied and contemporary holidays. Arvia will be the “epitome of a sunshine resort”. The ship boasts a unique SkyDome with a retractable glass roof and 16 guest decks, and will feature the first Altitude Skywalk high ropes experience, the tropical-themed Altitude Minigolf, the Altitude Splash Valley aquazone, an outdoor Sports Arena, swim-up bar and infinity pool. It will also offer guests several new dining options such as Green & Co feat. Mizuhana, Ocean Studios cinema, extensive shopping, and the Oasis Spa and Health Club. Arvia will feature more than 30 bars and restaurants and the first rum distillery at sea.
