The line paused operations in 2020 in response to the pandemic.

Remarked Paul Ludlow, president, P&O Cruises, ‘Sunday is an important milestone as we will have all six ships back in operation and doing what we do best.’

Destinations

He added, ‘We are delighted to be welcoming Arcadia back to the fleet… Britannia and Azura have had a very successful season in the Caribbean from Barbados and will spend the summer in the Mediterranean. Iona has spent her maiden winter months in the Canary Islands and northern Europe and will soon head up to the spectacular Norwegian fjords for the summer of scenic cruising and thrilling adventures…’

He went on to add, ‘We all spent so long missing the simple pleasures of great restaurants, beaches and city sights that having them all now makes the holiday experience even better.’

Arvia

The LNG-powered Arvia becomes the seventh ship in the fleet when it begins sailing in December. Its maiden voyage will be to the Canary Islands followed by a winter season of fly/cruise holidays in the Caribbean from Barbados.
