Two ships. Two sports. One unforgettable showdown. Two ships. Two sports. One unforgettable showdown.

Whilst in port together, Arcadia faced undefeated champions, Iona in two tournaments. The first basketball game was nail-biting - 24–25 - but that narrow loss only fueled Arcadia’s fire. Game two? Pure determination: 21–11. Game three? Momentum unstoppable: 21–14.

Arcadia had done the unthinkable - defeating the undefeated! And the energy didn’t stop there. Onto the football pitch, where Arcadia dominated again, sealing a 9–5 victory. Fast-paced, competitive, and full of passion.

More than wins and scores, this was about crew coming together, building friendships and enjoying some well-deserved downtime. Both teams played with heart and sportsmanship, reminding us why these moments matter so much onboard.

Drop a 👏 in the comments for both teams!

December was a month of joy, creativity, and conne December was a month of joy, creativity, and connection across our fleet. 

While being away from home during the holidays can be tough for crew, our incredible teams made sure the festive spirit shone brightly. From Christmas Craft Nights and Karaoke to heartfelt Gift Distributions and peaceful Christmas Eve Mass, our ships were alive with celebrations. 

A huge thank you to everyone who made this season unforgettable. Here’s to more magical moments at sea in 2026!

Adventure and natural beauty came together as Vent Adventure and natural beauty came together as Ventura’s crew explored La Coruña on an unforgettable bike tour! 🚴‍♀️🌊

From the Tower of Hercules standing guard over the Atlantic to peaceful coastal promenades, every turn revealed stunning views and rich history. This was more than just a bike tour, it was a chance to connect, enjoy time away from the ship, and connect with colleagues and friends.

During a recent port call in Vigo, crew from Iona During a recent port call in Vigo, crew from Iona had the chance to connect with fellow ships’ company from Britannia for a friendly face-off on the court and pitch. Whilst Iona took the win in basketball, Britannia came out on top in football. 

A great example of team spirit and building connections across the fleet. 💙
