New P&O ship Arvia to offer men’s’ barber, and new retail and spa experiences

Arvia will feature a series of firsts for the fleet, including a dedicated men’s barber for haircuts and male grooming, a range of new wellness experiences in the Oasis Spa & Health Club, and new shopping zones and retail brands in The Avenue.

Arvia will be P&O Cruises’ second Excel-class cruise ship after Iona, making her one of the largest in the fleet and only the second to run on LNG fuel. She is due for delivery to the cruise line in December 2022.

The new dedicated men’s area includes a barber station, plus male grooming collections from leading brands such as American Crew, Clinique for Men, Barbour Pro and Clarins for Men.
