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.

Departure Port: Southampton
Departure Date: 11 November 2026
