Arcadia on course for April launch

Sunday, 11 Feb, 2005 0

P&O Cruises’ £200 million new ship Arcadia is on course to be named next month before starting its inaugural series of cruises.

The 1,958-passenger ship – the company’s first to be purpose-built for the UK cruise market – is due to be named at a ceremony in Southampton on April 12 and will enter service two days later.

P&O reports high levels of interest in the new vessel, with almost 80% of its sailings already sold for 2005.

Arcadia will have 984 cabins, including 685 offering their own balconies, 73 outside cabins and 218 inside. Modern British cuisine will be featured with celebrity chef Gary Rhodes creating one of the six restaurants on board.

The ship’s maiden cruise departs on April 14 to the Mediterranean.
