Where Is Arcadia Cruise Ship Now?

By Michael Ferguson

The Arcadia cruise ship, operated by the British-American cruise line P&O Cruises, is one of the largest and most luxurious ships on the seas. Originally launched in 2005, the Arcadia has been taking passengers on incredible voyages around the world ever since.

The Ship’s Features

The Arcadia boasts a number of state-of-the-art features, including 13 restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, a spa and wellness centre, a theatre, multiple shops and lounges, a casino and more. There are also plenty of activities to keep passengers entertained while on board, such as tennis courts, mini golf courses, shuffleboard courts and rock climbing walls. The ship also has a range of cabins to choose from to suit any budget or group size.

Destinations

The Arcadia’s itinerary takes it all over the world, from Europe to Asia and everywhere in between. Destinations include countries such as Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and Croatia in Europe; Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore in Asia; Mexico in Central America; Australia in Oceania; South Africa in Africa; Barbados in the Caribbean; and Alaska in North America. The ship also offers some incredible shore excursions for passengers to explore each destination further.

Covid-19 Impact

Unfortunately due to Covid-19 travel restrictions imposed worldwide throughout 2020/21 season Arcadia was unable to sail its usual routes. Instead it remained docked at Southampton for repairs for much of this time before sailing on reduced capacity cruises around Europe later in 2021.

Where is it Now?

At present (June 2021) Arcadia is sailing around Norway before heading south towards Barcelona for a journey through the Mediterranean Sea. After this she will travel back up north towards Scandinavia before returning back to Southampton where she will remain docked until further notice.

Conclusion: The Arcadia cruise ship is now sailing through Norway towards Barcelona on a journey through the Mediterranean Sea before returning back to Southampton where she will remain docked until further notice due to Covid-19 travel restrictions worldwide throughout 2020/21 season.
