It will take place on board the vessel and at Heywood’s Beach in Barbados, where Murs will perform some of his most well-known hits. The vessel is homeporting on the Caribbean island and Antigua through to March.

Sara Cox, Trevor Nelson to present

Two UK broadcasters and DJs, Sara Cox and Trevor Nelson, will present the ceremony. Cox will host guests on the beach while Nelson will take centre stage in Arvia’s Skydome and introduce the bottle smash moment with Arvia’s yet-to-be-revealed godmother. Both will be sailing on Arvia’s March 11 departure and will host late night DJ sets on board.

‘A moment to remember’

P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said, ‘...Olly, Sara and Trevor really do make a star-studded line up which showcases the contemporary entertainment for which P&O Cruises is known.

It is not often that in the depths of UK winter you can be transported to a spectacular white sand, palm-fringed beach in the Caribbean and watch a live performance from one of Britain’s best-loved stars. It really will be a moment to remember.’

The event will be livestreamed on YouTube at 7pmGMT on March 16.
