P&O Arvia is a fantastic cruise ship for families. As well as the fun-filled onboard activities and swimming pools, for those sailing with children, the kids clubs are a must. Let your little ones have fun and make new friends while you enjoy some downtime on deck, a spa session or shopping trip to the onboard boutiques.
When it comes to relaxing on board Arvia, the ship's pools are a must-visit. Head to the Beachcomber Pool where the chilled vibes and nearby bar are guaranteed to help you wind down, while the ice cream will be a hit amongst the younger cruisers. Meanwhile, for a touch of luxury, head to the Infinity and Panorama Pool and Bar. Complete with whirlpools, loungers, infinity pools and even a swim-up bar, this is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine on your P&O Cruises' voyage.
From formal dining options to the casual restaurants and poolside grills, there's something for everyone no matter what the time of day. As well as popular P&O Cruises staples at Sindhu, Olive Grove, Epicurean and Glass House, aboard Arvia you’ll also find 2 new dining options in Green & Co and 6th Street Diner.
Day or night, the SkyDome is the place to be on Arvia, with all-weather swimming, cooking demonstrations and game shows during the day, and live music, tribute acts, production shows and even late-night dancing once the sun sets. Meanwhile, you’ll find breathtaking live shows at the theatre and swinging seats, live DJs and delicious drinks at the Sunset Bar.
Whatever your mood and tipple, you’ll find a bar for you every evening. From gin and cocktails to homely pints, live entertainment to scenic views, you’ll soon find your favourite haunt aboard P&O Arvia.
Excellent experience. Issues with the Greatest Day production so cancelled.
Really nice cruise though i feel an extra port of call could have been visited and there should have been 4 formal nights in a 2 week cruise not 2 i have fed this back to p and o
Very good cruise!
Sailing from Southampton is very convenient without the hassle of flying. The ship (P&O Arvia) was busy as it was the first two weeks of the school holidays. We were travelling as a couple with no children but always managed to avoid the worst of the hubbub. There were plenty of restaurant options and some adult only entertainment/ venues. All very well organised, excellent food and service and great value for money. We had an inside cabin which was comfortable and clean and we were well looked after by our cabin steward, Noel. Itinerary was good for us with two new-to-us ports of call, Alicante and La Coruna. We didn't participate in shore excursions or organised activities other than one pop quiz. I rated them with 5 stars because there wasn't a N/A option. Didn't buy a drinks package as we don't drink a lot, but we enjoyed what drinks we purchased in the bars and restaurants and they weren't over-priced. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks holiday.
