Where Are P&O Cruises' Ships Sailing To In Summer 2027?

Arvia

P&O Cruises’ sunshine-loving ship Arvia is back for summer 2027 with a line-up that’s bound to make cruise fans smile! 

She’ll continue sailing her ever-popular 14-night Western Mediterranean adventures from Southampton every other Sunday, perfectly timed for a dreamy escape. There are two itinerary options to choose from, each packing in six fabulous ports over two weeks.

One route dives deep into Italian wonders with stops in Civitavecchia (for Rome) and La Spezia (the gateway to Florence and Pisa), while the other leans into Spanish and French charm with sun-soaked visits to Malaga and La Seyne-sur-Mer, where you can explore the coastal gem of Toulon.

The best part? Both itineraries feature the star-studded port of Barcelona. And for those short on time but big on wanderlust, Arvia will also be offering four Southern Cruise Breaks to Spain and France, first introduced in summer 2026, giving travellers the perfect mix of longer and shorter getaways.
