Atmosphere aboard the Arvia
A cruise with Arvia can be described as a traditional cruise experience combined with a modern and amazing style. The atmosphere is inspired by the british flair and traditions. Therefore, every afternoon the typically british afternoon tea is served. In general, the life aboard is relaxed and casual and the familiar atmosphere makes the cruise memorable. Casual clothing for the day adjusted to the destination and more formal evening attire are recommended for a cruise with P&O Cruises.
Food and Beverages
Aboard there are different restaurants which give you the opportunity to try the different cuisines from all over the world. In The Quays you can try the exotic food from the buffet. If you prefer a tasty steak, we recommend The Keel & Cow. A really stylish and comfortable place to end the day with an excellent glass of wine is The Glass House. During the daytime the bars and lounges as well as the Gelateria are the favourite locations of many guests. In the evenings the dinner is served in different restaurants at two different dining times.
Entertainment, Sports and Relaxation
The new Sky Dome on deck 16 and 17 is the place to be. In the afternoon one can relax on the sun beds or in one of the jacuzzis before the party will start in the evening. The inside pool can be changed into a stage where singers and dancers present their fascinating shows. The Grand Atrium, also called heart of the ship, is the central location aboard. Around the Grand Atrium there are many smaller restaurants and bars. Children can play in The Reef, a club which is divided up into different groups of age and consists of inside and outside areas. For swimming fans there is a high number of swimming pools and jacuzzis. In The Retreat massages and other wellness treatments are offered. Who likes to run in the morning can make one round on the outside jogging track while enjoying the fresh air of the sea. In addition, there are sports classes offered in the sports area on deck 5.
