Last week marked a truly special moment for P&O Cr Last week marked a truly special moment for P&O Cruises as Arvia and Iona came together in St Maarten for the very first time.

In a spectacular scene at the port of Philipsburg, P&O Cruises two Excel-class ships berthed side‑by‑side - a landmark occasion that brought crew and guests out onto decks and balconies to take in the view.

Captains Robert Camby (Arvia) and Andrew Wolverson (Iona) greeted each other quayside, celebrating this rare and memorable meeting of our newest ships.

A proud moment for our fleet, and one our teams and guests will remember for years to come. 💙⚓

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.
