The indulgent Arcadia is modern and glamorous ship, completely child-free and full of luxury at every turn. She boasts gloriously spacious public areas, as well as stylishly decorated large staterooms for private relaxation.

From the moment you step aboard the Arcadia, you step into the chic and relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by British artworks at every corner and glass windows offering panoramic views across the port and ocean.

The Arcadia offers unique signature features to those who choose to sail in her. From the supreme fine dining offered in Arcadian Rhodes - created by Gary Rhodes - to the luxurious spa and fitness centre, to the three tier theatre, there is something to suit all tastes.

Accommodation onboard is suitably splendid, with King-sized beds alongside separate sitting spaces, and spacious bathrooms, each with a bath. The larger staterooms lead out onto private balconies, with space for chairs and table, so you can truly experience your own private world.

Outside of the staterooms, the public facilities are impressive and well thought out. The foodie guest will undoubtedly enjoy the Orchid restaurant, with its injection of Asian and Oriental fusion dishes, as well as the fantastic Arcadian Rhodes restaurant. The active guest is well and truly catered for, with the two swimming pools, gymnasium and a sports court at the very top of the ship. Guests wishing to immerse themselves in culture can do so easily here, with the photo and art galleries, and talks from Tate Britain speakers. The guests looking to be soothed and pampered will find themselves at home in the beautiful spa and health centre, complete with hydrotherapy pool.
