Arvia is the next ship in P&O Cruises spectacular Excel class. And if you’re interested in taking a voyage on P&O Cruise’s newest addition, we have all the info on what you can expect.
The Staterooms
For cruisers who don’t plan on spending much time in their cabin, opting for an inside stateroom is a great way to save a penny or two to spend on things like excursions, activities, and specialty dinners. These cabins are fairly small, ranging from 101-213 square feet.
However, if a sea view in your stateroom is a must for your cruising holiday, then a sea view cabin is a great option that is still suitable for lower budgets. You’ll also get a little more room in these cabins, as they range from around 210 to 307 square feet.
If your cruising fantasy involves beginning or ending your day by sitting out on your very own balcony, Arvia offers a variety of balcony cabins ranging from 107 to 300 square feet.
New to Excel Class ships is the charming conservatory mini suite. Ideal for those wanting a little more luxury, but not quite ready to splash out on a full suite, the conservatory mini suite is about 274 square feet. It includes floor to ceiling glass windows in the lounge area as well as a balcony.
For ultimate indulgence, opt for a suite. These glamourous staterooms range from 434 to 530 square feet. As well as their vast size, Arvia’s suites offer a range of luxurious amenities. The spacious bathrooms include a blissfully relaxing whirlpool bath. A butler will attend to your every need. And a delicious breakfast is served daily in an exclusive restaurant for suite guests.
The Food
From fine dining to comfort food, cultural cuisines to delicious desserts, Arvia offers a multitude of delights for your tastebuds.
Dress in your finest attire to enjoy formal dining at The Epicurean, or for even greater glamour, attend a Chef’s Table Dinner with a menu designed by Marco Pierre White and wine list curated by Olly Smith.
Enjoy a feast for the eyes as well as the belly with the visually stunning dishes of Green and Co. featuring Mizuhana. Or why not enjoy dinner and a show at the magnificent Limelight Club, with a themed multi-course dinner served at intervals?
For a cosy atmosphere and British comfort food favourites head to the Keel and Cow gastropub or visit Roast Carvery at the Quays multi venue dining piazza. Or instead try a taste of 1950’s USA with the burgers and shakes of 6th Street Diner.
