During a sunny port of call in Greece, Arcadia welcomed Queen Victoria onboard for a friendly basketball match. With the sun shining down on Corfu, teams from both ships brought their A-game and plenty of team spirit. In a best-of-three showdown, Arcadia claimed victory with a 2-0 win!
 
A fantastic competition proving that when it comes to teamwork, both ships are champions. Arcadia looks forward to a rematch soon to defend their title! 💪⚓
