Already creating waves of excitement, new ship Arvia’s maiden summer season will see her sail from Southampton on a series of 14-night holidays exploring up to six of the most popular ports in Italy, Spain and France.

With a range of launch booking offers available - including free child places, loyalty and new guest discounts, plus third and fourth guests in the same cabin travel for free on selected cruises - it’s a great time to take your pick of the fleet.

P&O Cruises’ president Paul Ludlow said: “This series of new cruise holidays is an exciting one, with our new ship Arvia, new destinations and new itineraries. Our guests have told us that anticipation and planning is a vital part of the booking process and we certainly hope we can give them something to look forward to within these new holidays. Each itinerary is carefully designed to provide the best sight-seeing, beach and culture on shore whilst maximizing time on board.

“New to cruise guests will also find appeal in our line-up and we are sure that Britannia’s new summer holidays to Ibiza, Palma and Sardinia will be very popular as well as Iona’s season in the magnificent Norwegian fjords.”
