The Caribbean is renowned for its immaculate white beaches and clear turquoise waters. However, there is a plethora of attractions beyond just the beautiful islands and sandy shores. In addition to the alluring beaches, visitors can explore the rich culture, historical landmarks, delicious local cuisine, and vibrant celebrations.
Embark on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, a ship designed with bright, airy spaces and outdoor pools, offering the ideal setting to experience the warm and sunny Caribbean weather.
Commence your journey in lively Bridgetown, Barbados, a city overflowing with charm and historical significance, before venturing out to explore the Caribbean.
During the cruise, you will visit popular 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 morning will greet you with a stunning new vista.
P&O Cruises provides a wide array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Dive into a thrilling adventure by snorkeling above a shipwreck and swimming with local marine life off the coast of Barbados. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Oistins Fish Fry, a weekly street party featuring delectable seafood, music, and cocktails.
In St Lucia, challenge yourself by climbing the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic spires, for breathtaking views of the island and surrounding seas. For a more leisurely experience, enjoy a scenic railway tour in St Kitts or indulge in a lavish lobster lunch on a tour of Antigua.
On a P&O Cruises vacation, the journey itself is an integral part of the adventure, especially aboard Arvia, known as the “sunshine ship” for its design that seamlessly integrates the outdoors. The Grand Atrium offers expansive views of the Caribbean, while the SkyDome transforms into a lively entertainment venue with a retractable glass roof.
Experience the luxury of an infinity pool on Arvia, where you can savor stunning views while enjoying a swim-up bar. With over 30 dining options on board, you can enjoy diverse culinary experiences, from American favorites at 6th Street Diner to international cuisines at The Quays, Meridian, and Zenith.
Indulge in specialty fine dining at restaurants like Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana, or savor a delicious burger at gastropub The Keel & Cow. Unwind with handcrafted drinks in elegant bars such as The Glass House and Crow’s Nest.
Arvia sails through the Caribbean during the winter months, with prices starting at £1,499 per person for a 14-night Eastern Caribbean Islands fly-cruise departing from Barbados. Enjoy rum cocktails, including the exclusive Golden Tide blend crafted in collaboration with The Tidal Rum, the first rum distillery at sea on Arvia.
For evening entertainment, choose from live music, magic shows, musicals, comedy sets, or relax in the Ocean Studios cinema complex. Treat yourself to relaxation at the onboard spa, featuring a sauna, steam rooms, hydrotherapy pool, and a hair and beauty salon.
