Arvia overview

Iona’s eagerly-anticipated sister ship, Arvia, joins the fleet in December 2022 and is heading for the sunshine. Like Iona, Arvia is another Excel class ship, with even more freedom, innovation and variety in store than ever before. So get ready for your ultimate P&O Cruises holiday.
Revel in the glorious Caribbean rays from Arvia’s unique SkyDome. Luxuriate in modern accommodation with crystal-clear sea views from your Conservatory Mini-suite.

Excursions are a must for all Islands, use independent ones if you want to save some money.

Terrible ship , dirty . Poor quality food and entertainment by jj123vw

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Arvia

Very poor quality entertainment often repeated. Food left out for the day before served to you and Service can take 30 to 40 minutes in between starters and mains and that’s if you can even get a booking in a restaurant as it only has a virtual booking system which opens at 6:30 mean, meaning that you have to start at your phone and try and join a virtual Queue

The app is a disaster. On your first day aboard go to the restaurants you want to book and reserve your tables

Book the speciality restaurants before you go. They fill up quickly. Put your preconceptions aside and try Green & Co - you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Try The Quays for fish and chips, Asian curry and Yorkshire pudding wraps - all free too. They also do breakfast - waffles and pancakes, fresh omelettes and full English (with fried bread)

The app for booking restaurants etc is there to help things run more efficiently but you don’t have to use it, you can go to the dining rooms and request a table - too many people were getting stressed out about it, personally I thought it was great
