Spend Christmas sailing the Caribbean

14 nights from £3,479 per person based on 2 sharing

Set sail on a festive Caribbean getaway with P&O Cruises this December. This 14-night sailing takes you to some of the region’s best-known islands, including Barbados, Saint Lucia, Antigua, and Sint Maarten. Between beach days, historic harbours, and laid-back island towns, you’ll celebrate Christmas and New Year at sea – a memorable way to end the year while travelling through warm Caribbean waters.
  • Your journey begins in Barbados, where British heritage meets relaxed island life. In the capital, Bridgetown, pastel buildings line the waterfront, and small cafés serve local favourites, such as flying fish cutters and rum punch. A short drive out of town brings you to sweeping beaches like Carlisle Bay, where calm water and soft sand make it an easy place to spend the afternoon before returning to the ship.

  • Next is Saint Lucia, one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular islands. As you arrive by sea, the towering Pitons come into view, two volcanic peaks rising sharply from the coastline. On shore, colourful markets and small fishing villages give a glimpse of everyday island life, while beach bars along the coast offer grilled seafood and cold drinks with views back toward the mountains.

  • The sailing continues to Antigua, known for its historic harbour and sailing heritage. One highlight here is Nelson's Dockyard, a restored Georgian naval base where stone buildings now house cafés, galleries, and small shops. It’s an easy place to wander for an hour or two, watching yachts come and go while soaking up the relaxed pace of the island.

  • Throughout the journey, your home will be a cabin on Arvia. Your cabin is bright and modern, with a comfortable bed, plenty of storage, and floor-to-ceiling doors opening onto your own private balcony. Around the ship, you’ll find multiple pools, spacious sun decks, a wide choice of restaurants, and plenty of lounges and bars, so sea days feel just as enjoyable as your time spent ashore.
