The
MS Arcadia is a
British cruise liner, the second largest in the P&O Cruises
fleet. She was built by the Fincantieri company of Italy in
a period of just twenty months. She was launched in April
2005 and named by Dame Kelly Holmes. An earlier ship of the
same name is now operating as the Ocean Village.
Stylish in design and
atmosphere, child-free Arcadia offers a classic cruising
experience. With many innovative signature features, she
offers an experience that is quite unique. A three tier
theatre. A fine dining restaurant, which spans two decks.
And a luxurious spa, complete with thermal suite and
hydrotherapy pool.
The
MS Arcadia is shown here in the attached images on her
South Bound Panama Canal transit on January 24th 2010 near
