The Caribbean is renowned for its immaculate white beaches and clear turquoise waters. However, beyond the beautiful islands and serene shores, there is a wealth of culture, historical sites, delectable cuisine, and vibrant local celebrations to uncover.
Embarking on a P&O Cruises vacation aboard the Arvia, a ship boasting bright and airy spaces along with open-air pools, provides the perfect opportunity to bask in the warm and sunny climates of the Caribbean.
Commence your journey in the lively Barbados capital, Bridgetown, a city rich in character and heritage, before setting sail to explore the Caribbean’s wonders.
Your itinerary will include iconic stops like St Lucia and St Kitts, as well as hidden gems such as the dual Dutch and French island of St Maarten and the picturesque Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Each day will greet you with a new and breathtaking vista.
P&O Cruises presents an array of shore experiences, allowing you to customize your trip to suit your preferences. Perhaps try snorkeling above a shipwreck and interacting with local marine life on an unforgettable excursion off the coast of Barbados.
In St Lucia, consider ascending the 2,600ft Gros Piton, one of the island’s towering volcanic peaks, for awe-inspiring views of the island and its surrounding waters. Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely ride on the St Kitts Scenic Railway or indulge in a lavish lobster lunch during a tour of Antigua.
The journey itself is a highlight of a P&O Cruises holiday, especially aboard the captivating Arvia. Dubbed the “sunshine ship,” Arvia is designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces. The Grand Atrium offers panoramic Caribbean views, while the SkyDome transforms into a poolside paradise during the day and an entertainment hub at night.
Experience the infinity pool on Arvia, where you can savor stunning vistas while enjoying a swim-up bar. With over 30 dining and drinking venues onboard, you can relish dishes like chicken and waffles at the 6th Street Diner, sample international cuisines at The Quays, or dine with spectacular views at Meridian or Zenith.
For a premium dining experience, explore specialty restaurants such as Epicurean, Sindhu, and Green & Co feat. Mizuhana. End the day with handcrafted beverages at sophisticated bars like 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. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample various rum blends, including the exclusive Golden Tide created in collaboration with The Tidal Rum.
Enjoy a plethora of evening entertainment options on Arvia, from live music and magic shows to comedy sets and silent discos. For ultimate relaxation, visit the onboard spa for rejuvenating treatments and facilities like saunas, steam rooms, and a hydrotherapy pool.
Accommodation choices on Arvia range from affordable inside cabins to luxurious suites with personalized service and balconies. With P&O Cruises, paradise becomes even more enticing, offering stylish accommodations, delectable dining, and endless entertainment all included in the package.
