The second Excel-class ship from P&O Cruises, powered by liquefied natural gas, will join the fleet in December 2022. Arvia, which means “of the seashore,” will be Iona’s sister ship and its design will celebrate stunning ocean and shoreline views.
P&O Cruises President Paul Ludlow said, “Arvia will join Iona as an innovative, future-focused ship offering extraordinary, varied, and contemporary vacations.” He added, “Arvia has been designed to sail in the sun year-round and to maximize ocean and shoreline views from anywhere on board, so I felt it was a very fitting name that will reflect the experience for passengers on board.”.
The seaside is renowned for its relaxing properties and tranquility, and a holiday on the Arvia will have relaxation at its core. The rejuvenating and restorative qualities of a walk along the beach and the invigorating sea air will be reflected in the experiences both on board and ashore, as well as in the spaciousness on board, which has allowed us to include a number of new and extraordinary features
The name of the ship, with a capacity for 5,200 passengers and 184,700 tons, was revealed through a video with images of different places, all of them related to the beach and the seashore.
