P&O ARCADIA Ship Tour – 2025 post refit

The Arcadia is a charming ship and we try to join it every year. This is the 2026 update with news about families and children.

It was built as a family ship, and now it will be allowing children. We give the news we got from reception, and they choose their words carefully. Yes children are starting to be allowed on some cruises, but there are no plans to build special areas. More on the film.

The carpets still feel new everywhere.

This is the ship that was originally ordered by the Holland and America Line, but then taken over by Cunard and was very nearly the Queen Victoria. They decided to have larger balconies over the dance floor so she was moved over to P&O. But with more of a Holland and America layout, she is very slightly different to other P&O ships. The Globe is a very intimate venue, the theatre has some of P&O’s top acts. Take a look at the ship tour. Arcadia has a small friendly ship feel but actually can hold just over 2000  guests over 11 decks. She is similar in size to the Cunard ships and people here do mostly dress for the evening, there are some younger adult guests. But it is adult only.

The Arcadia is a very easy ship to navigate. There is normally a star act each night, a 13 member stage cast, and orchestra (brass section make a jazz band), duo, busker and lounge pianist.

WORLD CRUISE

On a world cruise, this ship quickly becomes home. However, less than half go all the way around. Sydney is the big change over port. See our films in Sydney. Our first Arcadia experience was the Hong Kong to Mumbai leg of a World Cruise. Meeting passengers doing the whole cruise it was amazing to see how easily they had made the ship their home.20150325 Sing 14

The 2026 World Cruise goes the other way around so technically takes 100 days. Cape Town is on the outward leg.

The cake and pastry chef normally has a special cake day on the world cruise. The Arcadia has a crew of around 860 to a thousand, with a passenger capacity of around 2,050. A few more than the Aurora. Our new Aurora film is below.  

East, Indian restaurant – Beach House – Italian

This is fine food at the top of midships with a quiet bar next to it. It changes type and menu every few days.

Plan your Cruise with Confidence

Whether you’re booking hotels, flights, or planning your cruise, we recommend trusted platforms to make the process smooth and affordable:

  • We make cruise port guide films and ship tours. Please subscribe to our free cruise channel. We do receive income from YouTube not from guests or their subscription to our channel which is free.
  • Trip.com and Booking.com are excellent platforms for comparing and booking Trains, Hotels, Flights, and port-accessible travel, like connections between cruise ports and major cities.
  • CruiseDirect and World of Cruising offer great deals on cruises with transparent pricing. There are others, and you can book direct via a cruise operators own website and may find last minute deals, like with Princes Cruises.
  • GetYourGuide helps you discover top attractions and experiences at your destination.
  • Or, from home you can read a thrilling cruise novel and feel like you are onboard and in the action, like Cruise Ship Heist

After over ten years in travel, we know how valuable research is. These platforms let you compare availability and prices easily. We’ve partnered as affiliates with a few brands that are helpful to cruisers, which means if you use our links to outside companies, we may receive a small commission, which supports this platform — which is at no extra cost to you.

We at Doris Visits do not collect your data. We don’t have mailing lists. We do administer a few Facebook chat sites, but the members run them and they moderate them.

Fantastic cruise ship tours, top to bottom

In order to gain support from platforms, you may find that the platform puts adverts onto our page. We have partnerships with cruise and travel companies, which means we get offers that we can pass on, news, information and sit as their friends or fellows. That does mean that we can get a commission, as explained here. It is why we have to declare the warnings you reject or accept. http://paidforadvertising.com/.

We do produce cruise thrillers and try and keep them as cheap as we can. Please download and read one – and more importantly review it and mention you have read it on your chat group. Each little build in book audience takes us nearer to that possible high end TV series – read them and you will see what I mean. The first is Cruise Ship Heist, the latest is The Unexpected. Start with either…. the first is about drug money leaving south America, the Unexpected is an espionage type terror thriller based in the Baltic.
