Kelly Holmes to name new P&O ship
Double Olympic gold medallist Kelly Holmes is to name P&O Cruises’ new 1,952-passenger ship Arcadia next month.
The £200 million vessel, the largest to be built exclusively for the UK cruise market, will be named at a ceremony in Southampton on April 12.
P&O Cruises’ managing director David Dingle said: “Dame Kelly Holmes’ triumphs in last year’s Olympic Games were outstanding achievements for Britain, and we are honoured that she has agreed to become Godmother to Arcadia.
“This new vessel, the largest and most contemporary cruise ship ever built for Britain, is the latest in a long line of achievements for P&O Cruises, and we are delighted that Dame Kelly is to be associated with her.”
Arcadia features a spa with a thermal suite and hydrotherapy pool, three-tier theatre, 3,000-piece modern British art collection, 14 bars and six dining options.
