Operated by P&O Cruises, Arvia is a large ocean resort ship that launched in 2022. It's designed to accommodate up to 5,200 guests across 2,500 cabins. On board, 1,800 crew members are available to take care of guest needs.
Large ships such as Arvia are built around variety, offering multiple spaces and experiences designed to cater to a wide range of interests. Families with children can sail on board Arvia.
Guests can choose from six restaurants and eating venues. Caribbean, Indian, Asian cookery – and more – are all on offer. There are also four bars and lounges across the ship.
Arvia has eight accommodation options to choose from. 38% have windows or balconies offering views of the scenery beyond and 25% are suites, meaning if you're dreaming of sailing away while taking in the sunset or indulging in a more spacious sanctuary at sea, you're in the right place.
Flight from Manchester to Antigua for an overnight stay prior to a 22 night sailing via Barbados, St Vincent, St Lucia, Tenerife and La Corunna to Southampton.
Excellent facilities and a helpful crew made for an excellent cruise.
Cruise to France, Spain & Portugal - absolutely beautiful. I never fly due to fear, but it’s so lovely looking out to sea & relaxing on board with all amenities, as well as the beautiful ports of call to explore.
The Cruise liner took 6500 people- it was full and very difficult/ impossible to find a sun lounger. I have written to the CEO of P & O- with other concerns - been given 28 days to reply- sadly not been given a reply? Will look for another company as this was only my second cruise with P & O
I was apprehensive, would it be noisy, crowded, what was the food like, so much more. P&O were very helpful and from boarding to getting to our room was easy. The room Steward (Rocky) was sooo helpful, even providing me with a sharps box. Nothing was too much trouble for ANY of the staff. The food was well-cooked, delicious, and plentiful. Horizon (Buffet) was a surprise so much choice! Our favourite after a day on the Islands was The Quays - delicious fish and chips. Some of the bars are a little noisy but many are quiet, Andersons Bar is a nice place to sit - they have a library and games to borrow, or jigsaws to sit at the table and do. The only thing I would criticise is the drinks packages - some people were drinking 15 shots a night to get their monies worth, bar staff were abused when told they could not have more. I would cut this down to 7 alcoholic drinks per day. Overall we loved it - so much that we are going on Iona in December for Christmas and New Year
We booked for the first time on P&O Arvia Easter holidays for 2 weeks around the med.
2 adults and a 6 year old. Balcony cabin.
Our cabin was a tad noisy, we found the issue after a couple of nights and sorted it out ourselves.
We were on the 9th floor and good location.
the ship is beautiful. We have been on the Iona and absolutely loved it so we thought it would be similar. Far from it. Too crowded but it was the school holidays. We had booked a few speciality restaurants before we boarded . The worst being the beach house, service was awful and the food.
The sindhu was amazing just like on the Iona . Well worth booking and we highly recommend this restaurant. The Epicurean was just as amazing and would definitely book this one again.
MDRs were great also. As you can order as much as you like as many dishes as you like and our little one ate off the adult menu as kids menu wasn’t great. All other free restaurant are great including the buffet we found to be as good.
Kids club is amazing, our little one didn’t want to come out of there. She loved it and the staff are absolutely fantastic.
You need to book early the morning before for the next day.
All stops were great and visited some lovely destinations. Would we book again with P&O? Yes we would. Definitely wouldn’t book the Arvia again especially school holidays. But will definitely book the Iona and other family ships . It’s one of our favourite cruise lines.
