What Creators Are Saying About Arvia
Getting up at 5:00 a.m. to watch Arvia sail into Olden was one of the highlights of our entire holiday.
HappyMummyShopper - Family Travel & Days Out
Watching the ship glide through the water surrounded by the mountains was just one of my favorite moments of the whole cruise.
HappyMummyShopper - Family Travel & Days Out
When it came to the specialtity restaurants though, we really enjoyed them. Green and Co. was our clear favorite, followed closely by the Keeling Cow and the Beach House.
Charlotte
She is loud, bright, modern, and designed to give holiday makers plenty of choice from morning coffee to midnight cocktails.
CruiseTalesToday
The longer entrance hall was really useful for storage and having a little shortcut through to the sky dome was an unexpected bonus.
