Creator's Key Takeaways

Britannia launched in 2015 and can carry 3,647 passengers making it a midsize Ship by today's standards

Aria on the other hand is pio's newest and largest ship it can carry 5,200 passengers making it significantly bigger than Britannia

the food in the main dining room on Britannia was much better than on arvia the service was also much better

I love the solo balcony cabins on Britannia located on Deck 16 they are close to everything

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose Britannia if you prefer a slightly smaller ship with easier layouts and a calmer classic cruise experience
Choose Arvia if you love modern ships with lots of dining choices and bigger entertainment options
For Arvia, head to the infinity pool later on a port day to potentially get it to yourself
