Designed to accommodate up to 5,200 guests, with a crew of 1,800, Arvia offers an unparalleled cruising experience.
Its innovative design and incredible features:
Arvia’s design emphasizes a seamless connection with the sea. A standout feature is the SkyDome, a retractable glass roof that allows guests to enjoy panoramic ocean views, regardless of the weather. This architectural marvel houses a pool and entertainment area, transforming from a relaxing daytime oasis to a vibrant venue for evening performances.

For those seeking a more upscale experience, specialty restaurants like Green & Co and The Epicurean provide exquisite menus in elegant settings.
Entertainment and activities you can immerse yourself in:
Entertainment on Arvia is both diverse and captivating. Guests can enjoy world-class performances under the SkyDome, live music at the 710 Club, or theatrical productions in the Grand Atrium. For adventure seekers, the Altitude activity zone offers a tropical island-themed mini-golf course, Splash Valley water park, and a sports arena for basketball and football enthusiasts.

Wellness and relaxation at your disposal:
For those focused on wellness, Arvia doesn’t disappoint. The Oasis Spa & Health Club offers a range of treatments, while the state-of-the-art gym provides fitness classes and personal training sessions. The Salon features premium beauty and grooming services, ensuring guests feel their best throughout the voyage.
