Arcadia - with British flair across the oceans

You have long been looking for a traditional cruise ship on which a relaxed and at the same time dignified atmosphere prevails. You are just listening to an interesting expert talk before you treat yourself to a massage at the Oasis Spa. You will also want to take a closer look at some of the 3000 artworks on board later and visit the spectacular stage show in the evening.

The Arcadia of the prestigious P & O Cruises is one of the few cruise ships reserved for guests over the age of 18. The entertainment program is completely tailored to adult passengers and includes not only sports and creative courses but also cabaret and bridge events. In the evening, the day ends with a sophisticated cocktail after a gourmet meal. Since there is no German guest service, the English language should be mastered.

The 285-m-long Arcadia can accommodate up to 2094 passengers. On it is you can still experience the classic cruising feeling.
