P&O Delays Debut of Arvia

P&O Cruises is pushing back the debut of the new Arvia.

According to a statement sent to booked guests, the LNG-powered vessel will not enter service in early December as initially planned.

“We are so sorry but for reasons beyond our control, we have regrettably taken the decision to cancel Arvia’s first cruise which was scheduled to depart Southampton on 9 December 2022,” P&O said in a statement sent to booked guests.

“Whilst we know this is disappointing, we will not compromise on the high standards of build, interior design and service for which P&O Cruises is known,” the company added.

According to the statement, affected guests will receive a full refund to the original method of payment, in addition to an additional 10 percent Future Cruise Credit.

Currently in final stages of construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, the Arvia is now set to launch service on December 23 with a 14-night cruise to Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands.
