The Caribbean is renowned for its flawless white beaches and clear turquoise seas. Yet, there is more to uncover beyond its stunning landscapes. Apart from alluring islands and serene shores, the region is rich in culture, historical sites, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations.
Embark on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, a ship featuring bright, airy spaces and outdoor pools, offering an ideal way to enjoy the warm and sunny Caribbean weather. Begin your journey in lively Bridgetown, Barbados, a city steeped in charm and history, before exploring various Caribbean destinations.
During your voyage, you will visit popular locales like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as hidden gems such as the dual-nation island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each morning, wake up to a new and breathtaking view.
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 by snorkeling above a shipwreck and mingling with local marine life off the coast of Barbados. Alternatively, experience the renowned Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street festivity offering delectable seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself by climbing Gros Piton, a towering volcanic peak reaching 2,600 feet, for awe-inspiring 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 indulge in a lavish lobster lunch on an Antigua tour.
