Arcadia deck plans

P&O Arcadia (built in 2005, last refurbished in May 2023, with the next refurbishment scheduled for November 2024) is the smallest among the P&O UK cruise ships and one of the fleet's adult-only vessels, alongside Aurora. Structurally, Arcadia belongs to Carnival Corporation's Vista-class ships, which also include vessels from the fleets of Cunard (Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth) and Holland America Line (Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam).

MS Arcadia's cruise ship deck plan includes a total of 1,050 staterooms accommodating 2,094 passengers (maximum capacity 2,458), served by 870 crew members. The vessel has 11 passenger decks (7 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 10 bars and lounges, 2 swimming pools, 5 outdoor Jacuzzis, and 14 elevators. Arcadia is an adults-only ship, offering no family or children-specific venues, facilities, or programs.

Note: Onboard launderettes are available for passenger use on decks C, D, and E. These self-service laundry rooms are open daily from 8 am to 10 pm and feature washers, dryers, and ironing boards. Detergent is available for purchase, though guests may bring their own. Dry cleaning (Wascomat or Aquatex eco-friendly wet cleaning) is also available, with a price list provided in all cabins.
