Description

The MS Arcadia is a mid-sized ship in the P&O Cruises fleet, characterised by timeless elegance and a refined, relaxed atmosphere. In service since 2005, she is particularly appreciated by those looking for a more adult and sophisticated cruise experience. Her style reflects classic elegance, with Art Deco features such as the striking atrium dome and panoramic glass lift, while the elegant bars, lounges and carefully designed interiors create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. Arcadia is also one of P&O Cruises’ ships dedicated exclusively to adults, making her ideal both for experienced cruise passengers and for those wishing to discover this style of travel.

On board, guests can choose from a variety of accommodation options, from inside and sea-view cabins to Deluxe cabins with balconies, Mini Suites and Suites. The dining offering is equally varied, with a total of 15 bars and restaurants, including the Meridian Restaurant, the Belvedere buffet and the Neptune Grill, as well as speciality restaurants such as Ocean Grill, created by chef Marco Pierre White, and Sindhu. Entertainment is another highlight of the MS Arcadia. The impressive three-level Palladium Theatre hosts live shows and productions, while The Globe offers music and evening entertainment. For cinema enthusiasts, the Screening Room is an intimate cinema with just 30 seats, while the Crow’s Nest provides an elegant setting with stunning sea views. Wellness also plays an important role on board. The ship features two swimming pools, one of which has a retractable roof, five whirlpool baths, a gym and a variety of fitness activities. The Oasis Spa & Salon also offers wellness treatments, a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and beauty services.
