Holiday Overview

  • Ship : Arcadia
  • Duration: 47 NIGHTS
  • Departure: 06 January 2027
  • Holiday Type: Cruise & Stay
  • Holiday code: AUS2243

Setting sail from Southampton, P&O Cruises’ Arcadia carries you halfway around the globe over 43 extraordinary nights, from the grey of a British winter to the golden light of Sydney Harbour.

Your adventure begins in sunny Madeira, then a few gentle days crossing the Atlantic bring you to the Caribbean, with its turquoise water and pastel-hued harbours. From there, Arcadia sails on to one of the voyage’s great highlights: the Panama Canal, where the locks lift you between two oceans as lush jungle crowds the banks. Emerging into the Pacific, you’ll follow Mexico’s sun-drenched coast north to San Francisco, where an overnight stay gives you time to admire the Golden Gate Bridge. Next, the Pacific beckons. Explore Hawaii’s volcanic landscapes and Waikiki Beach, then discover the South Pacific islands of Samoa, Fiji and Vanuatu. Along the way, unhurried days at sea are part of the pleasure, and crossing the International Date Line adds a memorable milestone.

Finally, Sydney comes into view, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge welcoming you to Australia, where you’ll enjoy a two-night stay. Availability on this remarkable voyage is limited and cabins are selling fast. Don’t miss out: book today to secure your place.
