Enjoy your Greatest Days with Arvia

The Official Take That Musical by Tim Firth, exclusive to P&O Cruises brand-new ship

The arrival of the amazing new P&O Cruises ship Arvia means she has even more showstopping entertainment lined up, including Greatest Days by Tim Firth, The Official Take That Musical. Arvia is the only place in the world where you can currently watch this captivating feel-good show, an adaptation of the acclaimed West End musical The Band, featuring the songs of Take That and a beautiful story by Olivier Award-winning writer Tim Firth. Greatest Days is named in celebration of the upcoming film adaptation of The Band and will be brought to life by an amazing cast, handpicked from P&O Cruises Headliners Theatre performers.

Greatest Days – a story about friendship and music

It’s 1993 and, for five 16-year-old girls, Take That is everything. Join us as this group of girls, who were onceinseparable, reunite after 25 years apart and try once more to fulfil their dream of meeting the boy band whose music became the soundtrack to their lives. Greatest Days features the music of Take That, one of Britain’s all-time most successful boy bands, whose songs include Never Forget, Back for Good, A Million Love Songs, Greatest Day, The Flood, Relight My Fire, Shine and Rule the World.

Excited about this exclusive experience? So are Take That!

Here’s what the band have to say about the new show: ‘Almost ten years ago, we had the idea of writing a musical with our songs. It was a big wish of ours to make a show with Take That’s music, but without us – not the story of our lives. Our wishes came true and five years ago we debuted The Band musical to the world. Now we couldn’t be prouder to bring the story to P&O Cruises under its new name – Greatest Days. ‘In Tim Firth we found an author who invented a completely different and wonderful story to which our music makes the perfect frame. A story with a lot of heart and friendship. A musical that shows how music brings friends together. The story works so wonderfully, you don’t even have to know our music!

Reset your watch to island time – P&O Cruises Arvia is chasing the sun all the way to the Caribbean

Arvia was made for sunseeking and she’ll spend her maiden season sailing cruises to the Caribbean, making herself at home in serene turquoise seas as she hops between eight of the most magical islands.

On a host of itineraries spanning seven to 22 nights, Arvia explores eight idyllic Caribbean isles: Antigua, Barbados, Curaçao, Dominican Republic (a maiden call), Martinique, St. Kitts, St. Lucia and St. Maarten. Swap Britain’s grey skies for Barbados blues, drinking in a taste of the good life, resetting to island time and sinking your toes into hot sand as the sound of lapping waves surrounds you – bliss!

Cruises on Arvia promise adventure unlike any other, with a design created to make the sea the star and the sun shine in – think swim-up bars and infinity pools with a view of paradise. There’ll be al fresco chill-outs under those ever-blue Caribbean skies and plenty of looking across golden shores with a spritzer in hand.

Holidays on Arvia are set to be all about spending more time ashore, so the new P&O Cruises ship will offer itineraries that include overnights and late calls in some of the Caribbean’s most exciting ports of call. All Arvia’s guests will enjoy an overnight stay in Barbados – home to famous Oiston Fish Fry as the lights go down and the party starts. Choose a 14 or 15-night cruise on Arvia and you’ll also get the chance to kick back and enjoy the evening vibe in Antigua and St. Lucia (those Piton views are even better at sunset…) And for those lucky enough to join Arvia for a 22-night repositioning cruise, there’ll be two blissful days in Barbados, plus either two full days in St. Kitts or two full days in either Martinique and St. Lucia. Doesn’t the sound of being castaway in paradise for a week or two sound like heaven?
