Arcadia is a contemporary adults only ship providing a British cruise experience and a relaxed pace, in modern, stylish surroundings. As the first ship in the P&O fleet to be dedicated to adults only, which started a trend that has since followed, you can expect to find the great entertainment, dining and relaxation facilities that are ideal for couples and experienced cruisers. Arcadia’s signature features are her exterior glass-fronted lifts and expansive art collection, featuring no less than 3,000 works of art, which create a sophisticated atmosphere onboard. Two thirds of cabins have a balcony and all are tastefully decorated and well equipped, whilst all outside cabins have baths and suites have Jacuzzis. The ship is ideal for those who love a little luxury and style and are looking to relax on a child-free cruise holiday.
If you're in active mood, Arcadia's state-of-the-art gym is a great place to get in shape, you can step out on the sports court for a game of tennis or even thrash a few golf balls on the cruise ship's driving rage. However, if it’s relaxation you are after, Arcadia's Oasis spa and salon is a luxury not to be missed. A dip in the hydro pool is a wonderfully rejuvenating experience, while a therapeutic massage with ocean view will help life's cares drift away.
The entertainment and cuisine onboard Arcadia are both focused on a British passenger market. In the evenings you can see shows in the three-tier Palladium theatre, go dancing in the Electra nightclub and see a mixture of comedy and live music shows at the Globe. You can also try your luck at the Monte Carlo Casino, see a movie in the 30-seat cinema or there are lots of comfy places to sit and chat such as the Piano Bar, the Rising Sun Pub or one of Arcadia's other numerous bars.
If you take a stroll up to Sky Deck you’ll not only find great views, as the Orchid Bar and Orchid Restaurant are here, and a Select Dining venue, created by revered chef Gary Rhodes, which offers immaculately presented Asian fusion dishes. The ship also features Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill restaurant and the Belvedere, which is a 24-hour self serve food court serving a choice of international cuisine, bistro-style.

Features

Club means one of two fixed sittings (1830 or 2030 each evening) at the same table, while Freedom Dining means turning up at any time between 1800 and 2130, and getting the first available table. For more casual dining, The Belvedere offers an upper deck location and lreaxed, self service dining for all main meals.

Ocean Grill features succulent steaks that have been dry aged for at least 28 days.

- Top accommodation: The 2008 refit upgraded most accommodation although it’s still just standard suites at the top end of the scale, no special suites at all

- Tipping: At your discretion
- Three story theatre for evening cabaret
- Three pools
- Occasional black tie evenings on board
- Did you know? The name 'Arcadia' is derived from the Roman word for 'Utopia'
