Arcadia at Sea

Arcadia

Discover P&O Cruises' Arcadia

Arcadia is one of P&O Cruises' smaller ships, welcoming just over 2,000 guests and offering a more traditional style of cruising than the larger ships in the fleet. Highlights include her Art Deco-inspired atrium, glass-fronted lifts, expansive promenade deck and plenty of spaces designed for simply watching the world go by.

Offering a varied programme of P&O Cruises from Southampton, Arcadia is particularly well suited to longer, destination-rich itineraries, including Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and epic World Cruises. Most sailings continue to be exclusively for adults, while selected holidays now welcome guests of all ages, giving families the opportunity to experience Arcadia's calmer style of cruising too.

On board you'll find Ocean Grill by Marco Pierre White and Sindhu, alongside included dining in the two-tier Meridian Restaurant and relaxed Belvedere Buffet. Evenings can include productions in the three-tier Palladium Theatre, live entertainment at The Globe or a film in the intimate Screening Room, while the Crow's Nest is a favourite spot for sea views and a drink. You can also explore the latest P&O Cruises drinks packages before you sail.

A Calmer Style

Arcadia is best known for relaxed adult-only cruising, with selected all-ages sailings now available. Her smaller scale creates a calmer, more traditional atmosphere.

P&O Arcadia Screening Room

Entertainment & Ocean Views

Take in a show at the three-tier Palladium Theatre, watch a film in the intimate Screening Room or head to the Crow's Nest for sweeping sea views and evening drinks.

Cabins & Suites on Arcadia

Arcadia offers a choice of Inside, Sea View and Deluxe Balcony cabins, Mini Suites and Suites, alongside selected Single Inside and Single Balcony accommodation. With fewer guests than P&O Cruises' larger ships, her accommodation and public spaces suit those who prefer a more traditional, relaxed onboard experience.

If the location of your cabin is important, booking a P&O Cruises Select Price allows you to choose your specific cabin number, subject to availability. Early Saver and Saver fares work differently, so it's worth comparing the P&O Cruises fare options before booking.

You can also use the Arcadia deck plans below to compare your cabin's position with lifts, restaurants, entertainment venues and outdoor spaces.
