A Personal Introduction From Kat & Simon
Every now and again a sailing appears that genuinely makes us stop and go… WOW.
This is one of those cruises.
This itinerary was never meant to be on sale. Due to a dry dock reshuffle, Arcadia from P&O Cruises suddenly has availability for November 2026… and the pricing is incredibly strong for a 19-night adults-only cruise from Southampton.
If you love classic cruising, sunshine, history and relaxing sea days… this is an absolute gem of an itinerary.
