Arcadia
There’s more than a hint of opulence about Arcadia, a mid-sized cruise ship exclusively for adults. She’s full of features that are tailored for relaxation and pampering, from an expansive and exquisite spa to a splendid art gallery, three-tiered theatre, and a boutique cinema.
Chic yet classic, Arcadia boasts extravagant surroundings including stylish corridors, signature glass-fronted lifts and an enviable collection of 3,000 works of British fine art. Foodies will love the main two-tiered restaurant, Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill – an Arcadia exclusive – serving succulent steaks and seafood, and Atul Kochhar’s fusion cuisine in East. Guests looking for indulgence will appreciate the expansive Oasis Spa with thermal suite and hydro-pool with fragrant aromatic showers, while culture-seekers can enjoy an art auction in The Globe or unwind in the well-appointed library. For more active guests, you’ll find a sports court, fully equipped gym and dance and fitness classes.
