Refit for Arcadia
P&O Cruises’ Arcadia will get new cabins and boutique cinema as part of a multi-million pound Arcadia refit
The ship will get new carpets, soft furnishings and upholstery and 34 new cabins with private balconies.
P&O Cruises’ managing director Nigel Esdale said: “This is Arcadia’s first major refurbishment since she joined the fleet in April 2005 and we are taking the opportunity to enhance and improve the features of this already very successful child free ship.
“The work that we are undertaking will add to Arcadia’s contemporary charm.
The 30-seat boutique cinema will replace the existing Cyb@Study, although wireless internet access will continue to be offered on board
The first passengers to sail on the new look Arcadia will be departing on a 16-night Mediterranean cruise from Southampton on December 20.
