First Time Cruisers With P&O Arvia

We take our besties onboard for their first ever cruise

Set sail with us Monday, 21 October, as we embark on P&O Cruises’ newest beauty, Arvia. Our friends Antia and Rachel have only ever been on the Dover to Calais ferry, so we’re beyond ready to show them what real cruising is all about.

We’re hopping onboard Arvia in Southampton for a four-night voyage to Zeebrugge (Bruges) and Cherbourg, with a sea day to soak in all that ship life has to offer. In Zeebrugge, we’ll dive into those dreamy Belgian waffles, chocolate, and maybe a cheeky local beer, before wandering Bruges’ cobbled streets. Cherbourg has us craving fresh Normandy oysters and creamy Camembert as we explore the charming coastline.

Arvia isn’t just a pretty face—she’s packed with excitement. We’ve had a taste of her epic vegan haven, Green & Co (Read all about it here), and can’t wait to go back for seconds! This time, we’re also hitting up the Limelight Club for a night with Kevin Simm (Liberty X fans, this one's for you!) and vibing out at Gary Barlow’s 710 Club. And we’re not stopping there—we’re eyeing The Skydome for poolside lounging under its retractable roof, and the Altitude Skywalk for a high-adrenaline stroll above the waves.

Will we turn them into cruise addicts? Stay tuned! We set sail in just a week—catch all the fun over on our Instagram @VitaminSea.UK.
