I returned to P&O’s Arcadia after 15 years—and let’s just say, some parts of the ship have aged better than me... some, definitely not.
This solo cruise gave me a front-row seat to all of Arcadia’s charm, quirks, and mysterious buffet behaviour. I explored everything—cabins, entertainment, food, atmosphere—so you don’t have to go in blind (unless you enjoy surprises... like suspicious plumbing)
If you’re considering a P&O Arcadia cruise in 2025, especially as a solo traveller, this brutally honest review will help you decide if she’s still worth booking—or better left as a fond memory.
