These range from suites with butler service, inclusive room service, whirlpool bath, and an exclusive breakfast restaurant, through to value-focused inside cabins. And even cruise from there, Arvia is the biggest cruise ship presently operated by a British-focused cruise line and is based for most of the year in Southampton, Britain’s busiest cruise port. The newest P&O cruise ship, Arvia, has a similar physical design as the line’s last ship, Iona.

Roast Carvery will offer passengers their fix of Yorkshire puddings with all the trimmings -- in a wrap! We’re as intrigued as we are excited by this new dining offering onboard. A new addition to The Quays -- a multiple-venue piazza first rolled out on Iona to replicate a street-food-style setting -- Roast Carvery is set to reinvent the classic Sunday roast. Billed as a laid back venue for all the family, we’re sure this will be a popular choice on the new ship. Arvia is a family-friendly ship and offers age specific children’s clubs on board. P&O Cruises are in process of moving to an app-based booking system for restaurants and entertainment, which frustrates some guests who prefer to disconnect on vacation.
Arvia Cabins
Part of the wellness complex is also the fleet-first Barber Station (haircuts/male grooming collections from the premium brands American Crew, Barbour Pro, Clarins for Men, Clinique for Men). In April 2022, P&O signed a partnership with The Tidal Rum (produced by the Shorts Boy Distillery founded by Ben Clyde-Smith and Harry Coulthard) to create an exclusive rum blend for MS Arvia's Caribbean cruises. The Tidal Rum is a blend of cask-aged Caribbean rums (produced in Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, Dominicana). Via the partnership, The Tidal Rum is produced on the ship (in Arvia's Anderson's Bar, the first at sea rum distillery) and also available for purchasing (in bottles) fleetwide.
There is a daily carvery in 'The Quays' food hall, as well as in the buffet restaurant. For solo travelers, there are a handful of smaller, single cabins, in addition to the option to pay a single occupancy fee on a regular cabin. After Arvia's undocking, the FERU (floating engine room module) for Carnival Jubilee (CCL) was maneuvered into the free-now building dock II as the CCL ship's front part was already been built there. Carnival Jubilee's FERU was constructed at Neptun Werft in Warnemunde and was transferred to Papenburg in the previous week. MS Arvia ship's itinerary program started in December 2022 with the maiden voyage (Dec 23rd) out of the UK homeport Southampton England to the Canaries, followed by a Transatlantic crossing to the Caribbean..
With P&O Arvia nearing completion, find out 10 New Features she has to offer that differ to sister ship Iona. Arvia has 4 pools, an Infinity Pool with swim-up bar, 10 Infinity whirlpool spas, 10 whirlpool spas, a sauna and a steam room. It can be difficult to secure a booking in the latter for dinner, but it’s also open for a late breakfast and brunch most days.
Throughout the day, P&O Arvia bustles with a myriad of engaging activities. Whether you fancy a refreshing swim in one of the numerous pools, a calming session in the spa, or an energetic fitness class, there’s something for everyone. If you’re in the mood for learning, seize the opportunity to acquire a new skill, perhaps in a culinary class or a wine-tasting session.
Bathrooms of all standard cabins have a shower with glass doors and a clothesline for drying. There is a single basin with a fixed soap dispenser and ample storage on the above-sink shelving unit. You’ll find fixed dispensers of generic liquid soap and shampoo in the shower cubicle with shower caps and moisturising body lotion available on request. There are two family suites which sleep four on Deck 8, though these do not have balconies or baths. Click on top left to choose a different ship or use the menu above which is specific for Arvia.
