P&O ARCADIA Ship Tour

We are big fans of the Arcadia and can dodge the buckets and smile. It is a charming ship and we try to join it every year. She is due for a major refit. The last refit saw a a range of updates to the suites, public areas, bars (such as the

youtube arcadia cruise ship 2019

Piano Bar and Spinnaker Bar), and main restaurants including The Belvedere food court. P&O have partnered with RPW Design, one of the world’s leading hospitality interior design practices, to ensure the ultimate levels of design luxury and comfort. Some re-fits you never notice, a common one now is to change the stage lighting from old bulbs to LED which is said to save about ÂŁ80 a day in fuel on most ships. So comfort, cost and ecology are always on every cruise operator’s mind. Click the future cruises to see every cruise and port stop the ship makes in a year. This is the ship that was originally ordered by the Holland and America Line, but then taken over by Cunard and was very nearly the Queen Victoria. They decided to have larger balconies over the dance floor so she was moved over to P&O. But with more of a Holland and America layout, she is very slightly different to other P&O ships. The Globe is a very intimate venue, the theatre has some of P&O’s top acts. Take a look at the ship tour. Arcadia has a small friendly ship feel but actually can hold just under 2,400 guests over 11 decks. She is similar in size to the Cunard ships and people here do mostly dress for the evening, there are some younger guests. The Arcadia is not as formal as the similar size Cunard ships but is more formal than the Lirica Class MSC ships which are also about the same size but very different.

The Arcadia is a very easy ship to navigate. We have joined it for a World cruise as well as the Baltic Cruise. Both fabulous, both totally different.

The World Cruise was a different atmosphere to the Baltic Cruise. More relaxed whereas the Baltic was action packed! We have a great film about the Arcadia sailing under the Great Belt Bridge .

But then on the same cruise, two different groups of people can have totally different cruises by their selection of places they use onboard. The same ship can give totally different experiences and the great thing is you get to talk those over and wow each other over dinner.

Fine Dining – Ocean Grill

Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill is on deck two and gives treatment and service that goes one step beyond that which you are used to in the free dining. The restaurant serves meat as well as fish. Click here for the Marco blog and film, however, the film is in the content of the Arcadia tour.

East, Indian restaurant

This is fine Indian food, not too spicy but if you want you could discuss spicier dishes when making your booking. It is on the top deck, mid staircase opposite East and they made us feel very special on our anniversary. Click here for the Sindhu blog and film, however, the film is in the content of the Arcadia tour so if you have watched the main film you will have seen it.

About Us  

Doris Visits is just a little hobby, and a way of helping people research ports and ships. It is our way of giving back as we are on the ships between 6 and 12 times a year as Guest Lecturers. The site is also supported by other guest lecturers.

Why Doris?  It was a character Jean played in a TV show and we started the port guides as a little spin-off. It took over. I mean, rode into town and said this is it.

Who is Jean ?  Jean is a West End and Broadway actress who now has her own one woman show called Royal Mistresses, which she performs at guilds and on ships. Hence, she cruises – a bit. She now presents TV and is known by many cruisers for her Doris Visits port guides.

Who is Stuart?   Featured in a clip in the 2024 Oscars – in the tribute to movie stuntmen – he was the Queen Alien in Aliens. Now, he points the iPhone at Jean when they go and explore ashore. He finished in movies as a director, and now writes cruise thrillers.

The grandchildren who sometimes travel and from their son Luke Aikman. He was the young Colin Firth in Fever Pitch and appeared in Freight. He is now a producer and business entrepreneur. Their daughter helped with the plot of the first four novels and is now writing with comedian Joe Wilkinson.  Laura Aikman is known for being the girlfriend in the Christmas Gavin and Stacey, and Dyan Cannon in Archie. Some grew up with her Saturday show, Mysti.

Arcadia Itineraries

Arcadia review, review of arcadia.

The 2005-built Arcadia cruise ship is one of the P&O UK's "adult ships" - together with the fleetmate Aurora (since 2019).

The vessel (IMO number 9226906) is currently Bermuda- flagged (MMSI 310459000) and registered in Hamilton .

History - construction and ownership

P&O Cruises is a subsidiary company and two brands owned by Carnival Corporation - P&O UK and P&O Australia. In 2000, P&O Cruises became subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises, which merged with Carnival Corporation in 2003. P and O is the world's oldest cruise company, starting passenger shipping operations in 1822 on the routes connecting England with Iberia.

PO Arcadia cruise ship

The 2000-passenger ship Arcadia once sailed as the largest custom-built vessel for the British market - this was until P&O Cruises' Ventura joined the fleet in April 2008. Arcadia was not always marked to sail under the flag of P&O. Carnival Corporation had actually planned this vessel to be Cunard's Queen Victoria but later took the decision to allocate it to whichever one of its multifarious brands that could make the best use of it. Because of this, P&O Cruises fans might find Arcadia cruise ship's international style less to their taste than that of more classically British P&O UK liners such as Oriana; although like all the company's cruises, Arcadia scores highly on cleanliness and the kind of fluently running operation that results from the deployment of top-notch organizational skills.

Decks and Cabins

P&O Arcadia staterooms (1050 total, in 17 grades) include 62x Suites, 652x Balconies, 72x Oceanviews, 162x Inside, 6x Single cabins. Most cabins are sized 170-195 ft2 / 16-19 m2. Most cabin balconies are sized 55 ft2 / 5 m2. The largest passenger accommodations are the Aft Balcony Suites (450 ft / 42 m2, with terrace sized 300 ft2 / 28 m2).

The boat has 11 passenger decks , of which 7 are with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Spanning two decks, Arcadia's Meridian Dining Room (main restaurant) features a glass design and a grand central staircase. The restaurant is complimentary and serves good quality food. Breakfast features everything one would expect, from light and healthy options to British fry-up. Lunch is a la carte (including soups, lighter dishes, pies) while Afternoon Tea serves tasty treats of sandwiches, scones, cakes. For dinner, the Meridian Restaurant operates the usual dining system (with two sittings) allowing passengers to dine each night at the same table. The restaurant's upper level is for Freedom Dining, which means you can turn up at any time.

Follows the complete list of Arcadia restaurants and food bars.

  • Meridian Restaurant (2-level aft Dining Room; for Breakfast 7:30-9 am, and Lunch 12:15-1:45 pm/3-course menu)

  • “East” Asian specialty restaurant by Atul Kochar; at surcharge PP/depending on cruise length, the cuisine includes Indian, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Japanese dishes/4-course menu; open 6:30-9:30 pm, reservations recommended).

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

The 2-deck Palladium Theatre presents solid cruise entertainment. Passengers won't find West End shows but can expect a good spread of pleasing bands and comics, song and dance revues, aimed at British tastes. The theatre hosts 2 shows nightly, at 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm, in order to accommodate the two dining times. Organized day-time activities include traditional staples like deck quoits, shuffleboard, talks about forthcoming ports and general interest topics including art. The entertainment hosts spin tunes around the Aquarius Pool from 2 pm, where things liven up during dance parties featuring a cocktail of the day. Additional amenities include Complimentary 24-hour Room-Service, Internet/WiFi access, laundry/self-serve laundromats.

Arcadia wiki.

MS Arcadia is one of P&O's adults-only liners - along with Oriana . Initially, the liner was ordered as Vista-Class vessel for Holland America Line . While still under construction, the shipowner Carnival Corporation allocated the vessel to Cunard Line (planned for operations as MS Queen Victoria ). Shortly before the launch in 2004, Carnival decided to transfer the vessel to P&O UK.

P&O Arcadia ( Fincantieri Marghera shipyard/hull number 6078) is powered by Wartsila-Sulzer marine diesel engines (models 16ZAV40S and 12ZAV40S) generating total power output 63,36 MW.

As a result of all these pre-launch changes, Arcadia's ship design has Cunard's mast (similar to RMS Queen Mary 2 ) and a modified funnel (instead P&O UK's traditional funnel). This makes the vessel sistership to Queen Victoria , also to Coral Princess and Island Princess , and partially to Costa 's Luminosa and Deliziosa . These are Panamax vessels, meaning their dimensions allow transition through Panama Canal 's old locks.

For P&O UK, Arcadia debuted in April 2005. The ship was named by Godmother Kelly Holmes (1970-born British athlete). The vessel underwent a major drydock refit (at Lloyd Werf shipyard in Bremerhaven Germany ) in late-2008. During the refurb, it was upgraded with 34 new cabins and the stern was extensively remodeled.

Besides Arcadia, P&O ships with annual World Cruises (ex-UK roundtrips from homeport Southampton ) are Aurora and Oriana .

Arcadia World Cruise 2023

Next table shows the Arcadia ship's first post-COVID World Voyage - the 99-night/100-day "World Cruise 2023" itinerary (booking code J301) roundtrip from the UK.

Prices started from GBP 10780 (EUR 12560 / USD 14900) per person with double occupancy.

World Voyage 2023 was also offered for booking in smaller segments.

  • (Jan 13) 38 days from Fort Lauderdale to Sydney Australia
  • (Feb 14) 58 days from Auckland to Southampton
  • (Feb 20) 23 days from Sydney to Singapore
  • (Feb 20) 52 days from Sydney to Southampton
  • (Feb 22) 50 days from Brisbane to Southampton
  • (Mar 15) 29 days from Singapore to Southampton
  • (Mar 26) 18 days from Dubai to Southampton

P&O Arcadia refurbishments review

The ship is currently scheduled for a major drydock refurbishment in November 2024.

Arcadia's renovation project in 2023 (April-May) resulted in new chairs (in all passenger staterooms), new furniture (on all cabin balconies), and new deckchairs/furniture on all open deck areas. Neptune Pool's sundeck was upgraded with new garden furniture (loungers, sofas, tables, armchairs).

The list of deck plan changes after the 2017 drydock (November 1-14, done in Hamburg Germany at the Blohm+Voss shipyard) includes:

  • Updates and re-designing of all Suites, public areas, bars, and restaurants - the job was done by the London -based UK company RPW Design specializing in interior design. Interior renovations included new carpeting, new furniture, soft furnishing refreshes, new color schemes.
  • (aft on Lido deck 9) Aquarius pool and bar renovations included refreshed furnishings, new color scheme, updated chairs, sofas, bar stools, coffee tables, signage, wall tiles.
  • The 3-deck high Atrium (including the ship's Reception) was updated with new carpets and furniture (chairs, banquettes, cushions).
  • (forward on Lido deck 9) Oasis Spa's Reception was updated with new carpets and blinds. All loungers and armchairs were refreshed and cushions were added.
  • (midship starboard on deck 2) Intermezzo Bar received a new color scheme, new carpeting, blinds and new furniture (chairs, sofas, stools, coffee tables, lampshades).
  • All Suites were refreshed with new design, new color scheme, new furniture (sofabeds, armchairs, coffee tables, lamps), new curtains, bed cushions, throws.

The boat's 2013 drydock (November-December) resulted in:

  • 24 new passenger cabins (of which 6 single-occupancy cabins), all cabins were refurbished (new carpeting, flat TVs)
  • The Globe Lounge became the Electra Disco
  • Orchid restaurant became “East”
  • Crow’s Nest Lounge refit and renovation (added new bar).

The 2008 drydock (at Lloyd Werft Germany, 24-day refit at the Bremerhaven yards) included:

  • Stern refit- 34 new passenger cabins were added, of which 10 single cruise cabins, 23 balcony rooms, 1 suite.
  • Cyb@Study (Internet center) was converted into The Screening Room (cinema), while the Internet stations were moved to The Library.
  • Ocean Grill Restaurant was renovated, Aquarius Bar was enlarged.

An additional 75-ton Sun Deck area was added (size 5920 ft2 / 550 m2).

Hi everyone can anyone tell me which pool on the P&O ship Arcadia do they normally have entertainment in the afternoon. Is it the Neptune pool in the middle of the ship or the Aquarius pool at the back of the ship. Thank you Allan.

I sailed Arcadia to the Baltics in June 2018 and spent a fair amount of time around the Neptune pool (midship, covered). I don't recall any live entertainment by that pool at all. Perhaps because Arcadia is an adults-only ship? There were a couple Peninsular Club parties there, too. One Great British Sail Away at the aft (Aquarius) pool.

Thank you so much for your reply.

ohnonotmeagain

Sailed in Oct/Nov 2019. Usually more entertainment aft,music,quizzes  occasionally a live band. Neptune fairly quiet. Few morning exercise classes in the pool and table tennis  tournaments/games in the corner near the spa entrance.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. Looking to book a world cruise next year so thinking about cabin location as we like some sort of entertainment during the sea days.

10,000+ Club

Normally they have some low key entertainment at the rear pool at lunchtime and late afternoon. Not much happens during the afternoon by the pool.

Thank you so much for your time. Out of interest would you know the location of the smoking areas on the Arcadia please.

Rear pool, port side (I think), and certain areas on the prom deck (from memory - I'm not a smoker)

Again thank you for your time I don't smoke either just raising the question for my wife.

Wowzz is correct 😀
