Creator's Key Takeaways

we'd booked the Blue Lagoon excursion directly with piano when taken into account a loyalty discount dues very little in the price and as an organised excursion it couldn't be more convenient

as much as we love India my son that was really good and we highly recommend it

the Sindhu tastes the menu is a set menu and was only available once during our cruise but it was a proper treat

we highly recommend it what better way to end a meal than wash it down with a raspberry lake at the East bar

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to the 10th episode of our P&O Arcadia vlogs! Filmed during our 14-night cruise to Norway, Iceland and Ireland. Today is the second day we would spend in Reykjavik, it was also Luke's Birthday, so after opening some cards, we head to breakfast! We’d booked the Blue Lagoon (https://www.bluelagoon.com) excursion directly with P&O. When taking in to account our Loyalty discount, there was very little in price and as an organised excursion, it couldn’t be more convenient. The Blue Lagoon is a man made lagoon, the water is a by-product from the nearby geothermal power plant. The water's milky blue shade is due to its high silica content, bathing in the lagoon is proven to have a beneficial effect on the skin. Just to warn you though, everyone is expected to shower completely naked before entering the lagoon to avoid contaminating it… don’t worry, this is perfectly normal to Icelanders and there are some private cubicles for changing and showering within the changing rooms. The entry price included a silica face mask and a drink from the bar withing the Blue Lagoon. Back on the ship, there was a cake waiting for Luke in the cabin - Yum. We left Reykjavik early afternoon and had the P&O Great British Sail away - always a great party. We'd booked The Sindhu taster menu for tonight's meal, this is a set menu and was only available once during the cruise so it was a proper treat! As we’ve said many times before, we don’t need an excuse visit Sindhu as its always great, but this experience was the best yet, we highly recommend it.

About P&O Arcadia P&O has a history of over 180 years, the oldest cruise line in the world. Now owned by Carnival corporation, P&O UK is distinctly different to its sister brand P&O Australia. It has ship sizes that range from small ships such as Aurora to their bigger ones such as Ventura and Britannia. If you are looking for a traditional, British cruise line, where you can take family holidays or an Adults only cruise, P&O will have a ship that suits you. Exclusively for adults, Arcadia is a Vista Class ship with a capacity of 2,094 guests, 866 crew and weighs in at 83,781 Tons. Arcadia features two speciality dining venues: Sindhu – “In opulent surrounds, savour authentic Indian cuisine with a British twist” Ocean Grill – “Classic grill menu using the finest ingredients, given the Marco Pierre White twist” --- About Us We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini break on P&O Aurora. We like making videos of our cruises, they may not be to everyone’s tastes but they are our way of remembering the great times we’ve had, so please keep this in mind – we are not professionals and the complete video is shot and edited on an iPhone. We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). Make sure follow us on social media, the links are below.
