Welcoming Arvia to P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises Unveils Its Latest Addition: Arvia Joins the Fleet as Iona’s Sister Ship, the Largest Cruise Ship Ever Built for the UK Market. On December 15th a Handover Ceremony Was Held with Meyer Werft Shipyard.
P&O Cruises president, Paul Ludlow, who was present at the event in Bremerhaven and signed the Protocol for Delivery and Acceptance said:
“Arvia, as the latest evolution in the P&O Cruises experience, embodies the newest trends in travel, dining and entertainment and is the epitome of a sunshine resort sailing year-round to the warmest climates. It takes its sister ship Iona’s design aesthetic and general arrangement but provides new and exciting outside and inside spaces which make the most of Arvia’s deployment to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
“The ship is now officially part of the P&O Cruises fleet and we are focused on readying her to welcome guests for the maiden cruise on December 23 before departure to the Caribbean on January 6, 2023 for a winter season from Barbados.
