In December 2022 P&O cruises launched Arvia, this cruise ship was promoted as family friendly, so the 4bs have put Arvia to the test, and after spending two weeks onboard this cruise ship we give it the full review.
P&O Arvia has some new cruise features for P&O including high ropes, mini golf and an cruise ship escape room but did these new cruise features live up to the hype?
P&O Arvia also has some new restaurants for P&O including the 6th street diner and Green and co which is a plant based/ fish restaurants.
Arvia also has the P&O staples including Broadies sports bar, Quays fast food outlet, Andersons bar, cinema, horizon buffet plenty more and review it all.
When doing our cruise review we mark it out of 40 and have eight subjects that we mark out of 5 on each including Embarkation, ship, cabin, service, food, entertainment, ports, value for money.
We then pop it in our leader board of all the cruise ships we have headed on after covid. the leader board.
As always if you agree or disagree pop it in the comments, what’s your view on Arvia?

Would say that P and O are more fanily otiented than adult. Which drives customers elesewhere if they want adult only, as P $ O only have old adult ships,
We where on your cruise ❤
Looking at this ship for next summer. Thanks for your honest opinions. Not OTT like some reviews on YT.
Hi there thanks for the great insight into Arvia cruise ship , we are going on the Arvia in August to the med for two weeks. I don't think that you mentioned the internet package on your previous videos on Arvia, so I'm wandering if you have any advice on this and actually how often can you pick up mobile phone signals when sailing down the Spanish coast etc!. We have a seaview room on deck 4 , any thoughts on this kind of room? Many thanks Brent.
Excellent review, very honest and helpful for future cruiser’s, thank you.

Very interesting. A bit sad really, but good to know. Lately, Marella has really caught my attention. Never cruised with them. What are your thoughts on them? Would you try them?
I am ssooooo looking forward to my 2 weeks on Arvia holiday. But I am nervous of the service. I agree with Rach on their service and especially with what I experienced on Iona in May. But we are like you where we will go with the flow and make the best of it. Got lots planned. ❤️
Love the leaderboard guys! Fab vlog as always 🙂
Great Review and this is why this channel is so Great I love cruising but I will give this one a miss
Looking forward to the next one 👍👍👍👍
Hi 4bs, Nice balanced review, We were first time Cruises on Arvia at the same time, We are traveling again on Arvia 2nd of December hope they at least take on board some of your ideas.
How long does it normally take to drop off your luggage in Southampton? Were just decided how much time to allow before our embarkation time, if that makes sense 😊
Fair review for me! Great work as always 4 b’s!
Hey Bs! Another great video as always, watching this is making us even more excited for our Arvia cruise later in the year! Agree on Kids Pool, there should be a dedicated pool for them! The cabin looks so spacious, but again not sure how we’d feel about people walking past the balcony 😅
Hopefully they sort crewing numbers by the time we go, we’ve had similar experiences with crew on past P&O crusies … but let’s see how they hold up later in the year! 😂
Shame about the service – I think I have been thoroughly spoilt now by Emma taking me on Celebrity Edge! Service and amount of room per person was amazing on that (but not so good with daily service charges + and 20% on every drink and 18% on top of every speciality meal. 🫣
It was a shame that the service on Arvia was not up to standard. We sailed on Arvia and Iona, and we felt the service was excellent at all times. Pleased you enjoyed your cruise. Maybe if you sail again, hopefully it will be better next time. Have really enjoyed your videos. They are so informative. X
Fair review
Another great vid, thank you. Did you ever speak to staff about the deckchair issue? Wondering why they can’t put signs up saying don’t hog the chairs, and move people’s stuff who do..Bit concerned about that for our upcoming trip!
Oh..one other thing, is the Wi-Fi any good?
