New P&O Cruises ship Arvia to sail maiden Caribbean season
P&O Cruises new ship Arvia will sail a Caribbean maiden season in early 2023.
The LNG-powered Excel class ship launches in December 2022 and will cruise from home port Barbados and Antigua.
From January to March 2023 itineraries will call at Curaçao; Martinique; St Kitts; St Lucia, St Maarten, and La Romana in the Dominican Republic, which is a maiden port of call for P&O Cruises.
Arvia’s seven and 14-night voyages also all include an overnight call in Barbados.
Arvia’s seven and 14-night fly/cruises from the UK also all include an overnight call in Barbados. Twenty-two-night holidays departing from or returning to Southampton with UK flights are also available.
"Arvia holidays, alongside the rest of our winter 2022 season, will be on sale very shortly. We cannot wait to bring our newest ship to our glorious home port of Barbados and also to Antigua, which will be a first-time turnaround port for P&O Cruises," said P&O Cruises President Paul Ludlow.
Arvia is P&O Cruises second LNG-powered Excel class ship and a sister ship to Iona.
