Blissful sunshine, crystal waters, powder-soft sands, tropical landscapes and relaxed island vibes… You’d think our Caribbean holidays couldn’t get any better. But they just have.
This winter season, start your P&O Cruises Caribbean holiday with a bang in Barbados. In the first partnership of its kind, P&O Cruises are working with three of the island’s most talented chefs to bring the fabulous flavours of Barbados on board Arvia and Britannia on turnaround days in Bridgetown. Award-winning chefs Sophie Michell, Damian Leach and Adrian Cumberbatch will be delighted to join you on board, sharing their passion and authentic dishes at a range of fun and sociable foodie experiences while your ship is in port. Celebrated mixologist Shane McClean will also be on board to get the party started
Guests on Arvia will be treated to special chef-hosted get-togethers. As the sun begins to set, you can order mixologist Shane’s signature Caribbean cocktail. As you sip the rum-laced tipples in the sunshine, either chef Adrian or chef Damian will work their magic with live cookery demonstrations and personal tales of local life and the island’s vibrant cuisine. You’ll also get the chance to try the chef’s tasty creations when you’re served freshly prepared local dishes such as fire-roasted breadfruit topped with saltfish and lobster served with pepper sauce aioli, and aromatic goat curry on a Bajan bake. These experiences are available for all, and you’ll find the latest details about them when you get on board.
On Britannia, chef Sophie will curate an exquisite five-course dinner for weekly hosted dinners in The Cookery Club. Sophie will attend the exclusive meal herself every other week, chatting to guests about her menu and local food culture and telling stories about her life on the island. Bookings for these special hosted dinners can be made when you get on board, so don’t delay reserving your spot for a Caribbean feast to remember.
And there’s good news for all guests. The Horizon buffet on both ships will be serving a selection of Barbadian dishes, created exclusively by our chefs. Set your tastebuds alight with Sophie’s speciality zingy coconut & lime ceviche, rum glazed pork belly with charred pineapple salsa, and coconut & watermelon flan. Or how about Adrian’s sensational seared tuna tataki with green paw paw slaw followed by pepperpot braised beef with whipped yam & pickles, and rum & brown sugar tarts for dessert?
Barbados awaits, on a plate.
